I used Gifpop to print a lenticular 10-frame animation of the DNA Lounge logo. It's neat but it came out pretty blurry...

Safari and proxies
I use Privoxy for ad-blocking, and since upgrading to OSX 10.9, Safari seems to fail to connect to the proxy server 10% or 15% of the time, giving me broken images and whatnot. I believe it's not a problem with Privoxy itself -- I've tested that under load. It seems like Safari itself just sometimes decides to throw up a "proxy not responding" error before even attempting to connect to the proxy server. Not a timeout, it's fast.
I'm open to switching to a different ad blocker, but "Adblock Plus" doesn't exist for Safari, and the other one, confusingly and possibly sleazily called just "Adblock", doesn't block Youtube video ads, so that's a non-starter.
No, I don't want to switch to Firefox, Opera or Chrome.
Update: I figured it out! Turns out I hadn't merged the privoxy config file in a while and there were some new entries that needed to be set because the defaults make it fail, particularly, the problem goes away when I am no longer missing the default entry keep-alive-timeout 5.
Not entirely clear why this problem manifested itself with Safari and not Firefox, but this seems to fix it.
Jello shots: your new hologram substrate.

Soooooo... with all these shortcuts, only 2K of memory to go around and mechanics hacked up out of old CDROMs and bits of wood, does it work? Well, it mostly does. It took some fiddling with the 'ink' to get a consistency that doesn't 'run' into the rift the needle creates. I eventually got good effects with a mix of banana liquor, food colouring and some corn starch. I put it in the microwave for a small while to get the corn starch to turn everything into something that's more like a gel than a liquid. With that, I had something I could make nice lines with.
Wonder Woman's Problematic Breasts

Hmm. I represent the Wonder Woman of the new world. Breasts... anyone can buy for 9,000 shekels and everything is fine. By the way, Wonder Woman is amazonian, and historically accurate amazonian women actually had only one breast. So, if I'd really go "by the book"...it'd be problematic.
The brain's visual data-compression algorithm

When the primary visual cortex processes sequences of complete images and images with missing elements -- here vertical contours -- it "subtracts" the images from each other (the brain computes the differences between the images). Under certain circumstances, the neurons forward these image differences (bottom) rather than the entire image information (upper left). [...]
"We have now demonstrated that the visual cortex suppresses redundant information and saves energy by frequently forwarding image differences," similar to methods used for video data compression in communication technology. The study was published in Cerebral Cortex. [...]
If these individual images were presented at 33Hz (30 milliseconds per image), the neurons represented complete image information. But at 10Hz (100 milliseconds), the neurons represented only those elements that were new or missing, that is, image differences.
Today in Torture Phallus news:

Every individual is a hermaphrodite with both male and female genitals. When they have sex, they can simultaneously penetrate each other, with penises that extend to their whole body length. "They are relatively well-endowed, says Lange.
The penises are also forked. One branch ends in a cone-shaped structure called the penile bulb, which is ringed by small spines. It goes inside the partner's female genital opening, and delivers sperm. The other branch ends in a fiendish spine called the penile stylet. It stabs straight into the partner's forehead, and pumps fluid from the prostate gland. So, during sex, each slug gets a dose of sperm in the usual place, and an injection of prostate fluid just above its eyes. This goes on for just over 40 minutes.
"You may imagine I was quite excited and surprised to find out they reciprocally injected into their partners' head!" says Lange.
