OK Go - Upside Down & Inside Out

This is perhaps my the most amazing video I've seen them do yet! I don't know how I haven't seen it before, but it's definitely worth watching. I would have loved to be a there for the production planning meetings where they worked out how to do this with the intervals of relative weightlessness available on a plane flying in parabolas. For more information about how this works and some other interesting things that are possible thangs to planes doing crazy things, you can check out these videos from Veritassium and Physicsgirl here and here respectively.

Feed Automation

In the past, I had my blog posts auto-shared to Twitter using a service that no longer exists. I decided it might be worth finding a replacement. The one I'm trying at the moment is called dlvr.it. It supports up to three social media services in its free plan, so I should be more than fine with that; I currently have it connected with my Twitter, Google+, and Facebook accounts. My only complaint is that I cannot tell it to shorten links with my own Bit.ly API key, so I can see analytics for clickthrough. Although, given the relatively-limited amount of traffic that this blog tends to generate at the moment, that's not really a big thing for now. If I do manage to find the motivation to write more here, then perhaps the increase in traffic will make it worth finding a better solution to this in the future.

Wondering…

I rarely post anything here anymore, especially over the last few years, but I still get page views, including odd bumps from France and Russia at times, as you can see in the image below. I wish I had a better idea of what I was doing that was causing the traffic, but nothing seems to fit a pattern. Maybe it's time I started posting more? Although, I've said that many times with little result.
