The break­fast table side projects meet­ing seems to have jet­lagged slightly to lunch hour. Cold water morn­ing shower is truly revi­tal­iz­ing but i wouldn’t want an encore tomorow! Despite the early shock some folks clearly fueled with their sleep depri­va­tion man­aged to come up with a few other project ideas to add to our pool. Among which we seem to have a top secret face­book junkies cloth­ing line and a not that top secret Boris Vian piano cock­tail idea revamp, for the drunk­ards in us all to rejoyce aplenty about (related elec­tro valve exper­i­ment doc­u­men­tary pic­ture below).

So an excur­sion to the local city store was in order, vis­it­ing ran­dom local Chi­nese stores, hard­ware stores, tex­tiles store, pet stores, elec­tronic mate­ri­als stores.
BTW, you should know that using a mul­ti­me­ter to pick a zip­per at a tex­tiles store might get you kicked out!

Also, musi­cal christ­mas cards + cheap earplugs + sil­i­cone + skills = con­tact mics + hydro mics + led + cute paper left­overs for our col­lage club! Be afraid!

Mean­while, in a land far far away, Tara has been very busy iron­ing a few ran­dom plas­tic bags to cre­ate a DIY PCB pro­to­type and suc­cess­fully unrav­el­ling many dis­tinct ways on how it will defnitely not pos­si­bly work! Plus dis­cov­er­ing an advanced paper print­ing tech­nique. Fol­low up should come within the next few days. We hope.

Tiago Serra and Jorge Ribeiro from xDA have also arrived tonight, so our din­ner plans also involved a lit­tle brain­storm­ing on all of these ideas and more top secret ones TBA. Mean­while here is another ran­dom silly photo:
