Ham Land Week #2

• I made an anonymous feedback form, wee. Check it out here. So far I have one response, someone who deigned to inform me that I am a "poo-poo head". I ain't even mad.
• new habit: Started a new coursera course, Interactive Computer Graphics. Amusingly enough, the course material itself doesn't seem very interactive. It's just throwing vaguely connected factoids out into the world. As I type this up, I begin to wonder if it's high enough EV to keep Calculus in the waiting list. Calculus is so tantalizingly useful in statistics and machine learning, it's driving me nuts that I can't derive any of the formulas I need from scratch. I am prone to making stupid mistakes; not recognizing the underlying math means I have even fewer chances to notice and correct them.
• Added a whole bunch of tiny rewards to habitrpg for various projects. Literally all they are is "Brag about [project]", and they have a pretty small cost. Just a reminder to let myself revel in victories now again, try to capture that upward spiral.
• VOI / Emotional responses: I went and murphy-proofed the Equinox ritual I'm throwing. Its theme is heroic responsibility, or more accurately the virtue of The Void. My aims are to have a strong mental/emotional memory of it 6-9 months later; inspire significant, non-depressive changes in behavior lasting 2+ months; and remain in friendly contact with participants 6 months later.
• Toned down my VOI drawings and neurobio notes to a couple of times a week.
