Then followed agriculture and people no longer needed to hunt and gather.
All of a sudden some people had time to study and invent, and to create art...

Just for something different and a bit fun, I'm fixing up a couple of vintage handhelds.
As a kid I had the yellow Invader and my best friend had the blue Space Galaxy.

Is there such a thing as a self wetting solder sponge? With a reservoir that somehow just keeps it wet?
Cause if there is, I need one in my life.

I was lucky enough to work on Big Day Out festival for about 8 years or so. Did everything from Nirvana to Black Eyed Peas. Used to be a great festival. Great memories.

Today I figured out that you can just use a fork to position a sausage perfectly for an even cook, without it rolling in the pan.
How did I not figure this out decades ago?
Life hack unlocked.

Today on the bench is the ubiquitous CDJ3000 with a drink spill.
A full Aperol Spritz straight into the jog wheel, then left to sit in a room somewhere for 2 weeks before it was brought to me.
This should be fun.

I think I can now confidently say, I'm an expert on the Korg Polysix.
The one I just repaired had just about everything wrong with it. I studied the circuit diagrams for a week solving issue after issue, like a clown pulling scarves out of his sleeve.
It's finally fixed, restored, looks amazing.

Wow, I'm so happy I built my new PC workstation in October.
And I'm double happy I went with 96mb DDR5.
Ended up building:
9950x
ASUS Proart x870e
96mb EXPO 6000
RTX5080
8tb Gen 5 NVME
Turned my old workstation into a 10 gig NAS
Did it really at the PERFECT time.
