In June, a friend of mine was in a motorcycle wreck related to road debris at night. She won't be going home until at least October. There's a gofundme to help her out...after all, bills don't stop just because you're in the hospital. Please help if you can.

This is the front board for the blues harp preamp. It's an unconventional 6-layer board, is in final inspections, and should arrive sometime next week. After that, it's assembly, and final tests with Tall Paul.

Well, I'm finally starting the last stages of design and development of the blues harp preamp "pedal" for my buddy Paul. Doing PCB layout for the front board, and some fit-and-finish changes to the overall design. Will be selecting an enclosure soon, and then...it should be done.

In Annwn, Lucy is hunting rabbits with Arawn, now.

Unedited. Irix 15mm lens with on-lens CPL filter for additional effect.

From the first set of photos experimenting with my full spectrum EOS R, there's this. The only post processing is the application of an FS LUT, and downscaling to post here.

Backstory: I've never seen the Northern Lights. Fun fact: I still haven't. Nothing visible was going on overhead, but to a full spectrum camera, there was a lot happening not visible to the naked eye.

It just occurred to me that what Nietzsche is describing in "Beyond Good and Evil" a western understanding of the Buddha Mind as described in Zen.

I would love to see a Krampus runway pageant...see them strut their stuff.

With this lens, you can see a minor IR hotspot in the center of the image. Not the best, not terrible, either.

Audio sweep tests of a 3-stage subminiature pentode preamp for harmonica that I'm building for a buddy. This was a little while ago, and changes have been made since the recording. The project is currently on pause.

Just joined Bluesky. Scam profiles on me like flies on shit. Welcome to the community, I guess.
