Ooph! Slow day for us here. Let's see guns getting shot underwater (with some awesome science too) to distract ourselves.

Back to 7th place! Still at work, so I'll quickly post more Smarter Every Day, more slow motion video.

Woah! 6th place and nearly 11 million points! Tuesday really went off with a bang for us!

The amazing do-nothing machine! (Unlike my day at work today.)

Brain gets a little soggy around Thursday. Instead of science, let's just do car stuff instead. Here's a show I like, Motor Trend Channel's Roadkill.

I'm hungry again. Spaghetti Science! Thought this one was pretty interesting.

Low day for for IBM and a good day for us. Woo!

Normally, I try to segue in to my flair with some kind story about my day, but today isn't going to be one of those days. Instead, I'm going to grab another Blue Moon Peach Ale and watch the The Royal Institution of Great Britain light a match with water.

Late stones partially due to me having no caffeine all day and a huge headache because of it. Might be the first time I've been excited for Monday in a while.

Back to 7th! Been a while since we've been in 9th place. Glad to see it was only temporary.

So, Animaniacs was recently added to Netflix.

Just OC'd my work PC's GPU (busy day today, can't you tell). Seeing between 14-23% increase in GPU performance. I didn't expect much, but I'm pleasantly surprised. Core clock slider is maxed out. I'm pretty sure I have a bit more headroom to go.

Poor little GPU. Hey! I spend a fair amount of time in Google Earth, so there is some benefit!

My GPU core though:

Nice little gain. Looking at that, your card was either bottlenecking the CPU or you have an Nvidia card and Physics is set to auto select when ideally it should be set to the GPU.

Holding on to 7th, which I like to see!

Got some devices here at work going down faster than a helicopter with a dead engine. I mean that literally too, because it turns out helicopters can actually glide down to a landing relatively gently with no engine power.

I know, right?! Time to get Smarter Every Day. (Also, can I have his job, please?)

Awesome video! I watched it, and then I got caught up watching over videos from the Smartereveryday. The tattoo video was cool, as was the tattoo removal one! :)

Home early today. Feels weird using a 10-key when I've been using a 10-keyless at work so much. Lot of people seem to be driving fast on my way home (trying to beat rush hour I assume?) They seem to.. jet on by.

Unusually low day for everyone. Wonder if something happened.

These busy weekends usually result in late stones. Probably would have had them out last night if I had one of these, the Leveraxe!

Double post, sorry, but I just wanted to play with some of the other daily numbers.

Did you know we're in 60TH PLACE for total current members?! 60th place! And we're holding 7th in daily points! 651 members total. I was going to screenshot this, but it's a *long* list to get to us.

Another set of numbers I wanted to check was project runtime per team (in which we're 9th on April 30th). These numbers didn't completely correlate with points per day. That made me wonder about each team's points per hour stats, which I've calculated here. Long story short, we're 9th place in runtime efficiency.

Here's the list sorted by total points:

Edit: I suppose this isn't a measure of processor efficiency per se, but more just a "speed per core" rating (as well as a "which project did you pick?")

Interesting, I had a look at mine and it says 244.12 points per hour of run time.
There must be W.U's with low points or slow processors holding us back a bit.

Little bit of a low day. S'alright. Just hit reset and try a different game.
