Discern (For Sale)

Cryptohelix (cryptohelix) — Tue, 23 Oct 2012 22:19:59 -0700

Feeling that a thousand invisible eyeballs are staring at you from all sides is a little paranoid. However, three eyes from a giggling space elf that you almost recognize – from somewhere! But where? – would be more realistic. Ideally I think this is best on a t-shirt, but make your own evaluation.

Possible s6 profile metric

Cryptohelix (cryptohelix) — Sun, 08 Jul 2012 12:18:17 -0700

Possible s6 profile metric I will mull over today: (total promotes/number of designs) = average number of promotes per design = ~P (total promotes/number of designs)/number of followers = average number of promotes per follower = ~P/F = "promotion index" If it were possible to get the promotion index for all of s6, or a random sampling of s6 members, it would show how many followers you need on average to get 50 or more promotes on a given design. With this enhanced or retarded by the subjective likeability of the piece. I am not a mathematician, nor do I play one on Youtube.
