Just gonna leave this here.

My WIP 13 inch 1920x1440 4:3 HDMI display. Supports everything from 50 to 70Hz refresh rate. Will have built in high quality speakers. Still lots of work to do, so we will see where it goes.

I'm finally listening to ESFM on real hardware and I'm absolutely blown away. The FM synthesis sounds so awesome!

I was always underwhelmed with the sound of Yamaha OPL2/3's FM synthesis... I can't believe this was lurking inside all these ESS AudioDrive chips the whole time. Wow!

A restaurant board sign that reads: “we are not all in the same boat. We are in the same storm. Some have yachts. Some have canoes. And some are drowning. Just be kind and help when you can.

A while ago, I released "We Are Stardust". Physical editions included a #C64 game by Megastyle (awesome retro devs) with 8-bit versions of the album’s songs as the soundtrack. Here’s the game loading from glow-in-the-dark vinyl 👾 Audio noise = data, loaded in real-time. So proud we pulled this off!

There is a special place in hades for this arrogant twat. As a South African with Boer and German heritage I found this man deeply disturbing and I wouldn’t trust him to wipe the shit off my shoes

I almost applied for a job there once in 2018 but then I saw this ad. Interesting use of the phrase “UK citizen” right in the mist of the Brexit fuckup. Passed and so glad I did. They folded a few years later when they started to realize all those Brexit benefits :-)
