Tea tea tea tea tea tea tea

My flowering tea arrived today! Plus a nice brick of matcha. I’ll have to get through my other supplies first before I tear into it. Now I just need to wait for my shipment of loose leaf chai and I’ll be set until I decide I’m missing something in my tea life again.

At present I’m having the last of the vanilla peach rooibos which has a nice smooth flavor to it. Before I go to lie down I think I’ll make a batch of lemongrass herbal tea.

lately my consumption of tea has become even more serious. I’ve been making sure to take a thing of tea with me to work everyday hot or iced, caffeinated and decaf. I should review tea next… lol.

Speaking of reviews, I’ll have a small review of a TF2 map in a day or two. Not that it matters, just getting it out there.

Still no black screens

Well I think I figured out my black out issue. I don’t think it was the video card after all. Forcing Windows 7 to see all of my cores and hyperthreads seemed to stop it. I’ve gone 3 days without a single black screen (fingers crossed). I’ve also set the voltages back to stock for the time being. If all goes well I’ll start venturing into overclock territory for both the CPU and GPU.

Early Morning Open Thread

I’ve been experimenting with the voltages on my video card in an attempt to solve a black screen problem on my R9 290. When I up’d it by +10 I locked the system solid while writing text files and listening to music, then I lowered it to -10 and got a black screen after about an hour of uptime. I’ve increased it to +20 and so far I haven’t crashed yet. I’ve been working on audio and source filmmaker most of the night too so hopefully lack of voltage was the issue. Either way when I get a black screen again I’ll know it isn’t solved. 😛

So during my crashing/non crashing I wrote up a few reviews for me to do, plus set a stage for a different SFM video where Yutram and I make fun of a particular statue. I won’t name what it is but it’s pretty bad…

It ain’t easy being queasy

I thought I was over the queasiness during my day last day off (got some kind of stomach bug that made me feel like a squeeze bottle. Then today when I went to work I had dizzy spells and spent a good portion of the evening walking from my section to the bathroom. Luckily it was a quiet work night so I still managed to get everything done. But when I came home I fell asleep after catching up on teh interwebz.

I was going to work on some TF2 video footage. I plan to get off my arse and make some reviews for my youtube channel again. I enjoyed taking a little break from it by playing some other games in my library. But I think it’s time to sit down, collect some fun footage, and make sweet review pr0nz.

Technology

Ladies and gentlemen, the BluetoothBrush

BrushWavePhone

Not as in a blue coloured toothbrush, but an actual toothbrush with bluetooth enabled on it. Don’t believe me? Check this out:

Procter & Gamble’s subsidiary Oral-B will unveil what it says is the world’s first Bluetooth-enabled ToothBrush at next week’s Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. Part of the company’s Smart Connected Bathroom idea, the innovative device will provide users with “excellent control” over their oral care through an Android or iOS application.

It’s said to come with the following features:

  • Two Way communication – The Brush sends data about your brushing habits to the application and you can use the application to personalize your brushing.
  • Delivers Expert Guidance with Focused Care – Dentists can use insights from the patient’s brushing history and based on diagnosis, they can personalize the brushing experience based on the needs.
  • Programs Personal Brush Settings – You can control the brush with your smartphone as a remote and set basic setting options.
  • Stores Your Data – Tracks details about how you brush and stores it in the free to download app for iOS and Android devices.

This makes me wonder what we’ll have next. Smart toilet paper that teaches you how to wipe? Or better yet maybe bluetooth condoms that alert you if they pop or not. For the ladies there could also be bluetooth pregnancy tests and tampons that send statistical data to your smartphone so that it’ll tell you if you’re pregnant or how fast your flow is! The possibilities are endless!
