This is actually not spam.  Hopefully, he'll post more later explaining himself...

Re: In pursuit of zero

Thank you Mr. Rohrer. The uh... "poetry" above was from an experiment I did.

I put some tape on the ground in my room.  2   1meter/3ft squares.

I tried as long as possible to keep nothing in the squares.

The need to sit in a chair was my first.(Or was it the need to pee?...)

I grew tired and needed a place to sleep (technically i could sleep in a 2meter by 1 meter space)

I grew hugry and needed things to prepare food . etc

The last bit came from my desire to use a computer and a realization that I don't really understand how electricity works.

Re: In pursuit of zero

The Universe provided me with an opportunity to learn more about electricity.

On my 30th birthday - I went to a VR hackathon in Seattle. I had just moved from Southern California to Seattle less than a week before.

I see a guy wearing an Unreal Engine t-shirt, I introduce myself to him (unreal dev being my primary expertise)

He pitches me an idea about an education type experience where you can build circuits. I'm into it.

We dev all weekend and win "Best Interaction Design" (300$ cash prize)

https://devpost.com/software/circuit-sandbox  (Dropbox download of demo on page - Requires Vive or Rift)

https://twitter.com/SeaVRHackathons/sta … 8511980544

My next big question is what would it take to power my PC "off the grid". I'd be afraid to hook it up to a generator without some extra equipment to "clean up the electricity" ...  or how does one determine the "purity" of electricity...?

Re: In pursuit of zero

I don't have Vive or a suitable Rift.  Do you have any screen shots?

Re: In pursuit of zero

Someone actually recorded a video and put it on facebook, but I discovered this morning that linking to it from anywhere outside facebook appears to be impossible!

Adjustable Power-supply to power lightbulbs - Crank the voltage too high and lightbulbs explode! (Fire alarm sounds and sprinklers go off for a few seconds )

Calculate Ohms law (Current = Voltage * Resistance) and use an ammeter to check your work!
