Cloud suck is fun until it's not.

livestreaming on youtube confounds me.

testing some video streaming stuff for church, i used my own youtube account, clearly labeling the feed as "test livestream". in the span of 15 minutes of video-only testing with no audio, i had 6 viewers with an average viewing time of 3:55 minutes.

what are people doing with their time that my boring testing video is more worthwhile?

To some people, anything is click bait, maybe they were waiting for the porn part -

It's almost like Twitch. Why actually go through all the effort of playing games when you can watch someone else instead!

i accidentally learned about bubble wrap tonight

"Bubble wrap was invented in 1957 by engineers Alfred Fielding and Marc Chavannes in Hawthorne, New Jersey. Fielding and Chavannes sealed two shower curtains together, creating a smattering of air bubbles, which they originally tried to sell as wallpaper.[6]

When the product turned out to be unsuccessful as wallpaper, the team marketed it as greenhouse insulation.[6] Although Bubble Wrap was branded by Sealed Air Corporation (founded by Fielding and Chavannes) in 1960, it was not until a year later that its use in protective usage was discovered.[7]

As a packaging material, Bubble Wrap's first client was IBM, which used the product to protect the IBM 1401 computer during shipment.[6] Fielding and Chavannes were inducted into the New Jersey Inventors Hall of Fame in 1993.[7] Sealed Air celebrated Bubble Wrap's 50th birthday in January 2010[8]"

Surprise double-header!

Swiss electrical engineer George de Mestral invented his first touch fastener when, in 1941, he went for a walk in the woods and wondered why burdock seeds clung to his coat and dog. He discovered it could be turned into something useful.[2] He patented it in 1955, and subsequently refined and developed its practical manufacture until its commercial introduction in the late 1950s.

The fastener consisted of two components: a lineal fabric strip with tiny hooks that could "mate" with another fabric strip with smaller loops, attaching temporarily, until pulled apart.[3] Initially made of cotton, which proved impractical,[4] the fastener was eventually constructed with nylon and polyester.[5]

De Mestral gave the name Velcro, a portmanteau of the French words velour ("velvet") and crochet ("hook"),[6][7] to his invention as well as to the company he founded.

The company continues to manufacture and market the fastening system.
