Colbert‘s Late Show is the last show I watch on broadcast TV. I guess that ends tonight. I’m really gonna miss his brand of humor. And I guess I gotta figure out what to do with this #TiVo now. #colbert

Fun fact you may not know, my 15 minutes of fame was 10 years ago. And Stephen’s producer DM’d, asked to use my picture. Sure, and I sent a high resolution version. Watching Colbert live later that evening, it blew my mind to see my face on screen. That was WAY cooler than meeting Taylor at jury duty. #Colbert #colbertlateshow

#TIL Peter Zinovieff, co-founder of EMS, sold his wife’s tiara to buy a DEC PDP-8, making him the first private individual in the world to own a computer. He used it to build a revolutionary electronic music studio in his back garden. 🎹💻 https://musicaficionado.blog/2020/09/02/ems-vcs3-in-the-1970s-part-1/

WSM AM tower. When it was built in 1932, it was the tallest tower in North America. #radio

I’m so sad. My favorite #nashville haunt, 12 South Taproom is closing. It was the last remaining laid back spot for great food, drinks, and music - the rest of the businesses on 12th sold out or were forced out for tourism ages ago. Thank you for 15 years of laid back hangs with friends and neighbors! Theres a collection for the staff while they’re between jobs here. https://www.gofundme.com/f/we-had-a-good-run-support-our-staff And a decent write up on its legacy of music here in Nashvill...

I recently learned about wire wrap connections. They&#39;re fast, easy, strong, and make good contact. Developed by Bell Labs for early phone switching, by they 50&#39;s it was a standard in electronics, and was later used by Apple and IBM in their early computer prototypes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wire_wrap This seems totally ideal for #diy #electronics projects and prototypes. Plus, no soldering iron required!

Went to a joint in East Nashville tonight, asked for a Manhattan. Bartender had never made one, it was her first. She did a pretty respectable job.

Just got back from middle school STEAM night. I did "Analog Synthesis: The Science of Sound" “Learn how electronic music was made before computers, using electrical signals instead of digital technology…” This went so well! I brought a 2600, Grandmother, and an oscilloscope. We did R2-D2 sounds, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Stranger Things, etc. A teacher let me borrow a big DIY subwoofer and we rattled the windows of that 8th grade math classroom! Haha! #steam #synthesizer...

I’ve always liked the intro to The Spy Who Loved Me. Escaping the bad guys by skiing off a mountain, pulling the rip cord to reveal the Union Jack in the parachute. Just awesome. #jamesbond
