Unlocked what feels like a milestone: I'm gonna sell some abandoned prototype boards to somebody, so they can harvest the chips from them -- which now cost 7 times what I paid for them.

I feel like https://www.instagram.com/therealfree/ probably has a video doing a cover of this bassline.

good bassline on fm.dads.cool/hq right now

copy pasted several things.

drum machines are the cybernetic equivalent of the backing band from h jon benjamins piano album

cad software is magical. I didn't really understand it until recently, but the process of:

- draw something
- apply dimensions to that drawing
- move drawing into 3d with dimensions

is really cool.

Needed a battery holder and some solution to hold the front panel on - screws / standoffs were causing all kinds of trouble.

Printed up a quick case to hold everything together

found it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cb8qs4mUBo0

its called double-talk

whats the name of that vaudeville bit where they speak in plausible sounding nonsense?

there is a video of some master of that bit doing it in a class room, as the students fall asleep - maybe a 1950s era thing.

this other demo has a section that seems at least partially inspired by it?

maybe just convergent ideas.

the effect from 1:30 - 1:42 in this demo is good as hell. I wonder if any snes games used mode 7 like that.

I feel like I should probably federate more of my hobby electronics posts .

sorry for facebook link, but I made a video

oh wait, this was the electruc, the one posted above is a city car prototype

apparently seattle city light (the local power utility) had a research department that was building electric truck prototypes in the 70s

unfortunately they didn't enter production.
