What kind of wonderfully rigged up contraption is this?!?!? Hurdy Gurdy ftw I think. Spinning that handle has got to get old

The Weepies - Can't Go Back Now

MMmm Weepies. Check them out, they are great. Deb is maybe a little better, just my personal opinion

Cold Static (LSDJ chiptune on Gameboy Light)

Those crazy kids and their chiptunes. I like it :)

C64_MLR

A different take on using the MLR max patch. COMMODORE 4 LYFE! Or something. I wonder, will any modern computer be as long lived, in the sense of underground cultism, as the C64? I doubt it.

Video is a little dull in the beginning, lots of technical talk. Which would be useful if you want to replicate this achievement. I do not. But the music is cool further in, starting at around 2:10 minutes.

Handmade Music 4-16-09

Such weird little boxes of bits; some of them interested me though. There is so much that is interesting in the world, how will any of us try all of it? Perhaps, as they say, the effort must be in the attempt. And hopefully through our efforts some joy :)

Amazing Robocop Rap

FULL OF WIN.

Jenga pistol

VICTORY IS MINE!

HAPI Drum Demo(For Players of Hang, Tank, Hank, Tongue Drum)

Sim-u-lahr to a Hang drum, but a different design and sound. Groovy

KORG DS-10 : Nintendo DS Software Synthesizer - synchronized play

Groovy groove :) I wonder if this counts as a chip tune....I somehow doubt it, but the spirit is right

Wind Powered Beach Mutant Robot

What the smell is that thing?

Warehouse Robots at Work

Groovy little robots. I wonder when they'll pop up as big news...or if they did and I missed it already :)

All Japan Robot Sumo - Kanto Region Finals - RC Part 2

The Matterhorn - Worlds Largest Subwoofer

Good lord, it's over 9000!!!!! This is one beast of a subwoofer. They talk about shaking the earth enough to cause landslides as opposed to dynamite (which they do in the Alps. Interesting way to control when and how those things happen).

Photo time!

Fingers crossed :)


PS - Had to doctor up the code photrade.com gave me. Apparently Blogger doesn't like CSS coding.

A strange decision

At about 2:00pm today I got out of class after drawing some lines and tracing over them on a second sheet, and headed over to HR because I found some paperwork that I was supposed to turn back in to them some time ago. It took me about 15 minutes to take care of all of that, leaving me just enough time to see my bus cruise by before I could haul booty up to the stop. I checked the time charts and saw that it was going to be a very long time for the next bus to show up, something on the order of 50 minutes or so. I didn't care to sit down that long, so I walked up the street a good ways to where they have an electronic board that updates you on how long it will be before the buses that service that site get there. So I stop, read the clunky L.E.D. display (which could be better designed for readability in sunlight), and find that the next bus won't be for another 30 minutes. So, what did I do?

Heh, I decided to walk home.

All the way down MLK. I think it took me about 40 minutes to accomplish. After some time of letting my neck roast in the sun I decided to pop my collar. What can I say, I'm late to fashion trends. A while later I got tired of walking on the sunny side of the road, so I crossed over and enjoyed shade for the majority of my remaining trek. I got bored after about 25 minutes, so I started taking some pictures. I don't know if I care to share them here on the interpipes, but we'll see. They're not anything Ansel would be impressed with, but they kept me interested.

I drank a good bit of water when I got back, showered, and drank some more water. Here I sit, pleased as punch at having accomplished it. I don't believe I ever enjoyed a runners' high...maybe a walkers' chemical equivalent is more of a middle.
