Thanks Nate. And thanks Todd in general for hosting us.

Got to do a little test of the Powermatic Air Filter today. Air quality is garbage outside and I had the door open. Original air quality: 40 minutes with the Powermatic on and door closed:

Lovely NYT article on the "Dark Side of the Rainbow:" https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2023/06/21/magazine/dark-side-of-the-rainbow-pink-floyd-wizard-of-oz.html Gonna watch it myself tonight. Thanks, YouTube!

Belarus shmelarus...I blame Brent and wine for this.

Been working on this for a looong time. CFA3 from scratch mixed smd/thru-hole design. Currently assembled with NOS Toshiba 2SC3381/2SA1349 inputs, NOS MPSW TO-92L thru-hole transistors and bcxxx for the smd. Power consumption 75W no fan. Linear PSU with 20,000uf/63V filter capacitance — custom golden reference regulators. Final dimensions are 12x9x4.5” / 22lb+ the motorized 48 step attenuator w/ remote and display was a last minute addition. definitely interested in finding out the feedback for that, but would want it built backwards for a final design, I think.

Yesterday we visited Sterling Pond, which just so happens to be the highest elevation trout pond in Vermont

I'm not sure she's acting!

I find that my lungs function better with a dampening layer of sawdust.

Adds to list. We’ve just finished binging High Desert. Patricia Arquette plays such a fantastic crazy person.

There was a period while I had overlapping hobbies including spending too much money on rare old vacuum tubes, and photography. This isn't technically macro, but it's approaching it.

There's an update do for deployment. I'm sure Todd will get to it when time permits and wonder if this will fix it.

So how long before another Russian mysteriously falls from a balcony? Or is that too subtle in this instance?

When you drop your lens cap (1:38)

Romain goes stupidly fast in the electric Ford van to set the second fastest time yesterday at Pikes. The straight line speed of this thing is absurd.

Patricia Kopatchinskaja is one of my favourite contemporary violinists, I've listened to her live like 3 times in the last years, and always is fun and rewarding (which I can't say of Yuja Wang for instance). This album is available on most streaming services including qobuz, but Odesli must hate them.

While finishing the last chapter of her book Crying in H Mart

The Bear season two. Episode six, Fishes, is a crazy, guest star filled, holiday flashback. Add this to your annual holiday watch. Guess this actress. All your guesses all at once. Damn, I could have made a Wanda joke. Edit: Here’s a great opinion piece - https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/24/opinion/the-bear-fx-grief.html

People of our age are used to "roll your own".

I have the privilege of making my own delicious hand rolls. 🍣

Second season of Somebody Somewhere here. Also doesn’t disappoint.
