Lunchtime yada yada.

Because I have yet to change all the clocks I am in that liminal space where time is an illusion.

I am watching a live stream and while it was glitching in the chat, it kept working through the disruption. I think they even got a few extra viewers cause it seemed to be one of the few things on YouTube working.

Blueberry crisp cooling on the counter

The danger of baking season begins.

I’m a little concerned about the idea of savoury freezies.

What kind of help would you prefer? Masseuse or training wheels?

I mean it’s all nonsense but I hope the uninitiated never electrocute themselves or burn things down trying to follow ai slop.

Honda’s version of a Trabant?

I have two sets of Minimus 7s. One silver and one black. I also have a good collection of Radio Shack stuff but I’m not willing to join a group to validate my habit.

I had the 150-in-1 kit. When I built the high voltage zapper circuit I decided it wasn’t strong enough so I replaced the 9 volt battery with 6 x 6v lantern batteries in series. Mayhem ensued.

(Canadian) sorry.

One of my photo instructors asked us if we wanted to just take pictures of beautiful subjects or if we wanted to take beautiful pictures of a subject.

And you reminded me that I have a copy on my bookshelf that I have never read. That might have to change.

I do like your pithy opening description of Elon.

Episode 211: Elon Was Always Like This On this episode of Life, the Universe & Everything Else, Gem is joined by Lauren, Ashlyn, and Laura to talk in some detail about Elon Musk’s misadventures, including his history with PayP…

Here's the thing: Elon was always like this. lueepodcast.com/2025/04/14/e...

First bleep bloops.

A small black control panel with switches, input/output jacks and black and red knobs. There are also 8 red leds with the one labelled 6 lit up. Labels are written on by hand with a light tan paint marker.

Sequencer is sequencing.

chatgpt has fully broken-through to every facet of the corporate environment. I'm spending a not-insignificant amount of my time every week now explaining to people that just because chatgpt told you that something was possible doesn't mean that it a) is or b) even exists

A small black panel voltage controlled oscillator sitting on a green cutting mat (with yellow grid markings). It has 4 knobs and 4 jacks for input and output signals. The control labels are marked in orange paint marker in a hand printed style.

My first homemade euro rack module is complete.

On the plus side of the time change, afternoon naps come sooner today.

An old undocumented art piece I made. It’s called “Whistle while you work”.

As Canadian as possible under the circumstances.

Who stole the keeshka (or kishka)?

I just blocked another one today, a "photographer and TedX speaker" no less.

Afternoon naps are a good way to not spend money.

Push and pop.

Close up of a small home made electronic project on perfboard mounted on a piece of wood. A mix of vintage and contemporary electronic parts with brightly coloured wires connect the circuit to off board potentiometers and audio jacks.

My Fuzz Face pedal circuit test bed. Trying different combos of vintage PNP transistors. Mostly germanium but a couple unknowns.

It’s one of those days where an afternoon nap with the heating pad feels like a nice idea.

I’m trying not to go outside today. My water pipes had just started to freeze this morning and I had to thaw them before I had any water to make coffee.

Wasn’t there a Nielsen crunchie?
