It's Monday morning and it's time for the inevitable disconnected glob of internet.
The Shruthi-1 is/will be a small build-it-yourself synthesizer that actually sounds really cool.
Nyle Steiner K7NS explains how to build a TEA laser out of common household materials and a 6kV power supply. (That last item is /mostly/ why I haven't whipped one up this evening).
A huge pile of technical information on the Ensoniq ESQ-1 and SQ-80 synthesizers from the 80s. Just why I have this tab open is perhaps best left as an exercise for the reader, but I can relate that I really wanted one of these when I was in high school.
They can certainly be found elsewhere for cheaper, but these 12VDC 2A switching wall-warts are impressive little beasties.
PVC fittings for structure rather than fluid flow.
Synth DIY pages with lots of discussion of hybrid techniques and how various notable instruments differently wire up the once common Curtis and SSM voltage-controlled module chips.
A Chrome extension that displays PDFs in the browser via google docs.
A fascinating piece written in a 19-tone equal-temperament scale.
Implementing non-recursive makefiles.
