A quick and dirty 555 oscillator. The math didn't land quite where I wanted, but we've got signal!

Cracked open this bad chicken. New speakers are on their way and currently researching new belts for the tape deck. But now I'm gonna give the chassis the soap and water treatment.

I've been silly productive tonight. Successfully, albeit poorly, fixed the mangled tail of my skateboard. The fake gold flake i used must have included some poor quality copper. Things turned a little green.

I hijacked the 3D printer at work and made this caddy thing for my soldering station. Decluttering is cool.

This is why I'm not getting as much done as I would like. A small price to pay, though.

this is as far as I'm willing to go tonight. most of the tiles are there (as far as I can tell), I'm missing half my bit depth and i'm tired. Goodnight, friends and neighbors. We'll try again soon

i built my first background from scratch. i have some refining to do but not bad for a first try! 78 individual tiles. i think i can pair this down somewhat. most of the unique tiles are used in the cabin and if i reduce the shading i can reuse a few more and save some precious bytes.

it is very broken but playable. time to dig through the tutorial and find the fixes then to start making things my own!

picking up where i left off Thursday. ball bounces, paddle moves, bricks break and that's about it. in fewer than 700 lines (including graphics but not the include file.) today im gonna revisit each line and review commands and see what is tweekable until it breaks!
