In this video I open my recent mail. Stuff that I ordered:

In the video I mention that I made some notes about how to pronounce famous mathematicians’ names, those notes are here: God Created the Integers.
In the video I mention the Arduino Leonardo and the Arduino Micro which I am using for my MIDI-synth project: Crustaceans Chirp Chirp Challenge. Both the Leonardo and the Micro are based on the ATmega32U4 microcontroller which has built-in USB support.
My audio cables are so that I can connect my new gaming rig ‘treat‘ to my Logitech Z607 5.1 Surround Sound Speaker System Bluetooth.
The NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day for 2024 November 15 is what I needed the 3D glasses for. Unfortunately they didn’t work particularly well for me. Oh well, can’t win ’em all.
Also, I figured out how to use my thermometer properly by reading the manual. Go figure. The thermometer supports two modes of operation, forehead and ear. So it works properly if you use it correctly.

Rory Sutherland reading list
I just watched this presentation from Rory Sutherland: Rory Sutherland: Want Fewer People to go to A&E? Change the Name | Health | WIRED.
At the end he provides this reading list:
- Thinking, Fast and Slow
- Why Everyone (Else) Is a Hypocrite: Evolution and the Modular Mind
- The Company of Strangers: A Natural History of Economic Life
- The Righteous Mind: Why Good People are Divided by Politics and Religion
- Irrationality: the enemy within
- The Darwin Economy: Liberty, Competition, and the Common Good
- Predictably Irrational: The Hidden Forces that Shape Our Decisions
- Nudge: The Final Edition
- The Rational Animal: How Evolution Made Us Smarter Than We Think
I don’t have the time (or money) to read all of those books, the book I picked to read was Nudge.
