Hi, here’s an early example of how things are going to be from now on, now that I’ve got my midines kickin’ with logic 8 (which rocks, by the way).

Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

And here’s how I look playing along with the midines, which is also providing glitchy-ass visuals on the tv behind me.

p.s. I am using a new flash player deal for the mp3s, so if you read this site through a rss reader it may not work.

One of the blogs I read regarding DIY and/or audio linked me up to this post from Sam at octopart.com. Basically it is a headphone amp for two people. Well, it’s actually two headphone amps sharing an input and power, on the same board. It’s based on the design that my earlier amp was, and I already had a bunch of parts left over. Sam even sent me one of the pcbs for free as part of a promotion for their awesome site. If anyone who reads this is into DIY electronics, they should bookmark that site NOW. It’s very useful for part finding and pricing, and creating a parts list for a project. It helps you to combine orders and get the cheapest prices from various sellers.

So anyhow, here are a few pics of the thing. Since I can’t seem to poke proper holes in an altoids tin, we’re going to have to just look at it naked for now:

pay no attention to the terrible soldering on the capacitors

Long time no blog.

I’ll be posting a few blogs today with some media as to what I have been up to. This one is in regards to the oscilloscope I got for ten bucks. Ten bucks! Here I am using it as a glorified iTunes visualizer. Usually, a guy like me would look at this video and say, “what a waste!”. Just remember. Ten bucks.

I still need to get probes for it…to use it so far I have just shoved copper wires into the outlets and attached alligator clips to them. I know, I know what you are thinking. But…ten bucks.
