Summer is for Sleeping

The T.J. Hooper likes the picture window. And the sun we haven't seen all winter. So much so, she didn't even mind the pesky camera. I suggested we name the next cat Jane Doe. Carrie's having none of it.

A Long Way From Coney...

Apropos of Rob Sarvis's recent interest in the great Walter Hill, I was surprised and amused to come across this graffito on my walk home, tucked away in an alley off Fourth Avenue. "Warriors, come out to play!"

Maxim #1

"No nation was ever oppressed ruined or enslaved by the prodigality of individuals; all nations have suffered some of these evils from the prodigality of governments." John Taylor of Caroline, Arator (1818).

Ipse Dixit

For those interested, I've finally compiled a (relatively complete) list of my published articles on film and art, which you can view here. It's rather longer than I'd expected, actually. For perversity's sake, I've done the entire thing in Bluebook format.

Axe Bend

Two toy Viking axes, each bent with a 1M pot and a 1M resistor, recased in a cigar box with left & right outputs. I wired both through one speaker on/off switch, which introduced some interference between the two circuits. You can hear a sample here.

Camembert Bend

A toy mirror that makes a cascading tone sound, bent with a 2M pot and a 1M resistor. I added body contacts as well, and recased it in an old camembert container. You can hear a sample here.

Talk & Learn Numbers Bend

A Scientific Toys Talk & Learn Numbers bent with a 1M pot, body contacts, and a wacky switch that sets it haywire. One of my more successful, to date. Carrie likes this one especially. Listen to a sample here.

Relax Bend

Here's another version of the toy cellphone bend a couple posts back. The only technical difference is that I bypassed the resistor entirely. I think it's an improvement, because it increases the range. I think substituting brass acorn nuts for chrome changed the responsiveness. This one really likes you to lick your fingers. I also put in an led snipped from a toy I busted trying to bend it. I note that it flashes a lot brighter when the speaker is off. You can hear a sample here.
