Makes it crazier to think top fuel dragsters do it twice as fast with sub 4 second 1/4 mile times.

Been listening to a (relative) lot of Ultravox: https://tidal.com/browse/playlist/702f2a1e-5b4d-444b-ba58-4608aa0648f6 But also, new Nemophila album came out yesterday! https://tidal.com/browse/album/259904220

Thanks for posted picture Kerry. Your astonishing builds are very inspiring. In the original T2 PSU the 60-volt section is regulated by LT783 which I think is good enough. But inspired by Kerry I did this little fellow (the small copper clad with test leads) to replace the LT783 regulator. Connected to main board via three connections. Works like a charm – knock on wood.

And remember, you cannot spell "parody" without "PR". or soemthing.

Everything he does is worth listening to. Big influence on my (theoretical) style -- I went back and forth on overdubbing, but he showed how playing only the essential music without a lot of overdubbed parts could still work as finished music. This is worth a listen as well: https://www.amazon.com/Twin-Peaks-Season-Music-More/dp/B000W4HFY8

Trying to wrap up gifts before the long drive to Texas next week.

pray to the deity of semiconductor manufacturing (in a reverential voice tinged with grief).... 🙏 oh Nosemi please hear our plea for our DIY hobby.... in the name of silicon please bless us with some manufacturing and fill up our inventories In the name of NPN and PNP blessed are the mosfets, depletion or enhancement for the DIYers shall inherit 10M90S and it was good Let not the ebay scammers rebrand and re-etch for they will be accountable to silicon and burn in the foundries of ixys for all eternity Let it be known Toshiba and NEC will escape Renesas Sanyo and Fairchild will rise again and return to us all for now and for evermore Ahmen.

I guess if a bored ape is worth thousands, why not? NFT stuff is a joke, so this is just another chapter. Maybe you can get $$$ for your "parody". You never know until, you try.

Wooden Christmas crates, with dovetail corners is the obvious choice.

... albeit over a mile

Catching up on this loss: Soundtrack From Twin Peaks Twin Peaks 1990 https://album.link/i/374382340 Example: Opening track is so disorienting and perfect. and Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me - Soundtrack Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me 1992 https://album.link/i/46734067 Example: A sad track for a sad story. RIP Angelo. Edit - and it reminds me very vividly. RIP Julee.

Careful, that might be construed by Larry as being a headphone stand

^ Well, I was hungry, but not now.

Yesterday... Frank Sinatra - Watertown Because of this recent Pitchfork review. Now... This album is fantastic. Maybe there is hope for modern metal ex.

9.1 second quarter mile production car? Good lord, that is fast.

As the zoomers would say, me_irl:

Here is the balanced Dynalo with 220 ohm loads RMAA test with RME ADI-2 PRO. Signals levels set to RMAA test levels as before. RightMark Audio Analyzer test _ 220dynalo RME ADI-2 Pro.pdf
