My first PCB

Just a couple of days ago, I shipped my first PCB order to JCLPCB. This is a MOMENT. Something that needs to be marked.

My dad has been doing electronics since forever and it always intrigued and yet mystified me. I never understood how it worked. Especially as it related to audio devices. How did little resistors and capacitors make sound? It was always so fascinating, but also just as daunting to undertake learning it. Until recently.

This is a true bucket list item.

K-2SO copying data from another droid

I just re-watched Rogue One the other day…and besides loving K-2SO (and Alan Tudyk), I noticed something new. When K-2SO is acquiring data from another similar model, the data sync is shown by the eyes blinking a pattern in unison to “communicate” to the audience that one is being copied to the other.

Check it out for yourself:

Pretty cool, huh?

Talking to myself - there's an app for that

So while walking the other day, I noticied the audio in my headphones got quiet all of a sudden. No incoming calls or butt-pressing any buttons. I was talking out loud to myself. My AirPods thought I was talking to someone else, so they turned down the volume, which is a handy feature. It just never dawned on me that it would also clock how frequently I talk out loud to myself. Turns out that it’s quite a bit. Haha.
