Recently, I had the opportunity to acquire a Du Mont 224-A Oscilloscope and I decided to take on the project of restoring it to its former glory. This blog series will document my journey of restoring this vintage instrument and will provide a glimpse into the history of electronic measurement.

Affordable custom short run injection molding as a service. Made in the USA. 10 min order / 100 max order. Thoughts?

I actually don't think anyone should refer to themselves as an "ally." TARGETED groups decide if you're an ally or not, not YOU. YOUR job is to do the work, regardless of whether or not you get the ally cookie. Because the second you start thinking of yourself as an "ally," complacency will set in.

This is for someone who really pushes your buttons. 😏😘❤️ The “switch” is made from a heart paper clip and a brass fastener, in a rose gold color.

It will never cease to amaze me that we said, "hey, actually, it *does* matter if Black people live or die," and that made white people lose they muthafuckin mind.

We've got some sweet treats for Valentine's Day! Check out these awesome nerdy solderless #valentine kits that Robyn designed, now available in our shop. Pick just the ones you want ($4.95 ea) or all 5 for $21.95! https://www.alpenglowindustries.com/store/p48/Circuit_Candy_Hearts.html#/

probably wiser to blow the marketing budget on a more obvious marketing expense, like a proper hexagon sticker (which somehow this maker-oriented business still doesn’t have)

For a Lunar New Year's dinner with friends tonight I revised my old "double happiness" heart pendant to have different colors on each side and combined it with a clever rotating bezel I found on @printablescom. I just uploaded the remixed pendant designs at https://www.printables.com/model/381351-double-sided-double-happiness-rotating-heart-penda

OH MY GOD Y'ALL, I left it all on the field for this one. The second business post on the Patreon, and it's FREE FOR ALL, no pledge required. In which I break down the economics of the Oddly Specific Daybook, explain inventory and COGS, introduce the cash flow statement and reference both the Underpants Gnomes and the Wu-Tang Clan. I promise that if you aspire to make and sell objects, it's worth your while. https://www.patreon.com/posts/77787904

We had such a good time with Alessandro, Anna, and Giuseppe from @arduino on the stream today, and special thanks for hanging out with us late so we could see the magic of the blinking LED! Stay tuned over the next few days for the highlight clips and audio as a podcast and a coupon code!

Happening in just a few minutes!
