This is the personal inventory of Xu. This series is also homework for NYU DM-GY 6053 Section D: Personal Inventory



The Freudian Slip of 3D printer: Around a year ago, I was 3d printing some mechanic components. I left the printer in another room since it is noisy and smelly. Two hours later I foud smoke came out and this is all what I got when the fire is put down.


Sigmund Freud gave a intriging discourse about blunder, or parapraxis. Which is an error in speech, memory, or physical action that is interpreted as occurring due to the interference of an unconscious subdued wish or internal train of thought[1].


I was just wondering, maybe, just maybe, this piece of crap like material is the parapraxis of that specific 3D printer. It was always programmed to spit out what we want, now it tells what it is really thinking.


And this paragraph of bullshit is just another parapraxis from me.

My dear friend, Tingyun Yin wearing my 8-channel OpenBCI EEG headset. I believe her EEG is quite different from anyone else.


The Hue of my feet: This is the monment when I was lying on the bed, waiting for course material of Media Theory class downloading. I just found the white light shading on my feet would reflect my color on the white wall. (in Computer Graphic,global illumination, GI)



At this specific moment, I feel so proud to be colored, to bring such magnificent diffuse light to this world. Here is a BSDF(Bidirectional scattering distribution function) Diagram, my feet's contribution is one of this blue arrow above the surface and probablly below the surface (in Computer Graphic, Subsurface scattering, SSS).
