The YouTube recommender algorithm seems to have decided that I need plenty of Rory Sutherland in my diet. Which is fine by me, I think he’s great! This one is good: RORY SUTHERLAND’S 10 RULES OF ALCHEMY.

In this video I unbox two surround-sound sound-cards which I ordered recently from Amazon:
These were replacements for this sound card which I couldn’t get working in surround sound (only stereo): USB 5.1 Audio Sound Card 6 Channel Sound Card Built in HighEnd Chip, with Sound Mixing Function Support 48/44 KHz Sampling Rate for Both Playback and Recording.

Today I watched 12 toxic things you do in conversations without realising.
I got two of these Resistance Box 0-9999.9Ω Adjustable Lab Resistor Substitution Box Precision 1W Variable Knob Switch Boxes from AliExpress, but they kind of suck a bit. The resistors are only 1/4 Watt, the precision only 5% or 10%, and I had to mod it myself to replace the terminals with banana sockets.
Today I came across Build a Pro Decade Resistor Box for Cheap! PCB & 3D Print Files Included which includes all the plans necessary to make my own resistor box and with 1 Watt resistors.
I might take this on some time.

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.

Today I came across The Art Of Mixing (A Arte da Mixagem) – David Gibson. It’s a video about how to… mix.
This is great: Ring on rope trick tutorial
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:
I don’t have the time (or money) to read all of those books, the book I picked to read was Nudge.
