30 gauge wire is tiny. But when you’re doing circuit repair, it feels thick, stiff, and hard to work with. (From a Brother label printer that was savagely attacked by alkaline batteries.)
I’m selling my Evo. Here are more pictures.

We saw some moose in Alaska. They’re big, indecisive, and disinterested in bipedal tourists.
I don’t know if our spider liked the rain today, but the drops looked pretty.
The moon moves really fast when it’s behind trees.
We just got back from vacation in Florida, where we stayed at a lakeside apartment. On the last day, we got to see some cool wildlife. (From our downstairs, screened in porch. The lake had a substantial fence, with bars that might mildly inconveniance a large alligator.)

Weird Al Yankovic sings “The Elements”
Published May 20th, 2018 in General and Recordings. 0 Comments
My wife and I got to see “Weird Al” Yankovic in concert in Monterey last Thursday night. He covered Tom Lehrer’s “The Elements”. This is interesting because….
- Al doesn’t often do covers, but often does parodies.
- Tom’s song was itself a parody.
- The source material (from “The Pirates of Penzance”) was, some say, partly a response to the rampant musical piracy in the U.S. at the time.
So there’s a thing. Anyway, I really enjoyed the concert, and I wanted to test some experimental binaural microphones I’d constructed. Bada-bing! Bada-boom!
So, please Don’t Download this Song, and if you want to help Al and Tom get their Solid Gold Humvees, then support them by doing stuff!

Usual caveats about “this was not a studio recording”, etc.
