A couple months ago I discovered a quaint anime called One Piece and I can stop watching any time I want. #onepiece #anime #bingewatching #netflix

Most of the SPAM mail I receive dropped to zero when the #Iran war started (and anytime the US has had a conflict with someone). Today it all shot back up on many accounts I manage. It makes me hopeful that an agreement has been reached.

Purrfect fit! #caturday

My well practiced percussive desoldering technique has fractured the LCD screen. Thankful for next day Amazon delivery. Lesson learned. #soldering #electronics

I've made a lot of progress on my #neuromancerpc restoration and it's largely playable (let's call it alpha), but I'm not done reverse engineering the original game's data files... #neuromancer #java #javafx #retrogaming #gamedev

Here's a video tour of my Rack Synth progress. Pretty much working and making noises. Lot's of tuning to do but it works!!! Will spend the next two months documenting on GIThub. #asmr-synth #electronics #synth #eurorack

Now that my multi-day cooking adventure is done, soldering up the fourth #PCB in my modular #synth project. Hope to have a working sound machine in a couple more days. #asmr-synth #soldering #electronics

I wrote an obituary of celebrated game developer Rebecca Heineman for Ars Technica: arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025...

Celebrated game developer Rebecca Heineman dies at age 62

The gaming community mourns a beloved mentor and LGBTQ+ advocate with a storied career.

My end of the year goal is to make this pile of circuits into a working analog #synth. Then, and only then, am I allowed to go back to #gamedev on my #javafx #neuromancer PC remake while sipping egg nog. Too many hobbies.

One of my for-fun #gamedev projects involves restoring an old PC game called #neuromancer which is based loosely on the book by William Gibson. One of the folks who worked on the original is Rebecca Heineman @burgerbecky.bsky.social , who passed away this week. RIP Rebecca. You are not forgotten.

A nice way to end the week! Got my #synth module working. Based on an open source design by Hagiwo. #RasPi #Pico2 based and using Arduino libraries, generates waves from tables or math. I added OLED and UI code. I think the PCB components need work as the output looks a little funky. #asmr-synth

#synth rack progress! One regulator wouldn't start up, so it took a deeper read into the data sheet to realize I'd missed some components needed for voltages above 5V (a zener and cap). #Zener ended up being a stack of Zeners to achieve desired value. Not my prettiest fix. #pcb #kicad #electronics

I don’t have a #Mouser parts purchasing problem! I can stop any time I want. #kicad #pcb #engineering

Upon finding this stainless steel bowl at #ikea that looks suspiciously like a half scale #R2D2 head…. Challenge accepted!

My #JLCPCB bounty included my prototype #PCB s for a new type of rack #synth that I am thinking about. Think #eurorack but dragged into the new millennium. Backplane has two #I2C busses, slot detection, and 32 negotiated patch signals. Slightly larger such that old ER modules can nest inside.

Yay! The main #PCB for my MOS #KIM-1 replica arrived today from #JLCPCB! The sub-boards seem to fit. Bringup will take awhile since there's a gross chip-pin-numbering error on one of the smaller boards and I'll have to re-fab it. But I'll be able to partially assemble it and test a few things.

When your latest #PCB uses a #PCI connector (super dirt cheap) and you want the customer to know that they should not even be tempted to plug it into a PC. I used the connector but the pinout and voltages are nowhere near those of PC Cards. At least the warning will be entertaining. #KiCAD

It's alive! Keypad/Display #PCB module for my #kim-1 replica is working! Mostly based on the original 1970s #schematic, using modern parts. I wrote a PCB test fixture using Arduino and #rp2040 #raspberrypipico module from #adafruit. My first time using a rp2040 was mostly painless. #65C02

Tracking the person delivering my #UPS package. This individual should get a job in professional gerrymandering. Has driven past my neighborhood twice already and returned to multiple places they were before. Package is also an hour after the original delivery window. This is performance art.

My #analytical brain, every time I touch something and get a #shock: "I've been sitting still for five minutes! Why am I loosing so many #electrons so quickly? Is there something I can do about it?" #zap

That #feeling you have when you do a #GIT commit before going to help a family member with something for almost six hours. My day is gone but ideas in my head are check-pointed. #codelife
