... so I thought I'd introduce you to somebody else's originality instead. 5 years ago, a semi-famous internet personality known as Ze Frank decided to make a video every day for a year. The project ("the show") ran from March 2006 - 2007, and produced some pretty awesome and inspiring content. The best part of the show was not the show itself (although the show inspired the whole video-blogging genre as it stands today), or the layers of in-jokes, but the user-interaction, side projects, content creation and community he inspired. The only thing I regret is that I wasn't aware of it at the time.

In other news, I've decided on my next biggish project, provided I can get the glass bulbs and gas at a reasonable price:
By adjusting the gases (mostly low-pressure noble gases) and pressures, some pretty awesome effects can be achieved. I've always been interested in HV and electronics in general, and have always thought that these were pretty much the coolest devices ever. The main issue with creating one is the glass bulb - having one implode on you wouldn't be much fun, and the wrong gas-mixture or pressure will create dim or invisible streamers. This won't be getting in the way of the 3D printer - that's for my end-of-term free time.
Yours hopefully-cutting-down-on-the-brain-crack,
Charlie
