If you ever want to recreate Harold Faltermeyer's Top Gun Anthem (using modern FM synths such as Korg's Opsix or Volca FM), you can get the patch, and all the dumps of the Yamaha DX7 cartridges here: yamahablackboxes.com/collection/y...

DOGE = Department of Gross Errors

These are incredible and surely wont be allowed to stay online? So much effort has gone into this. itizso.itch.io/retrofab #Handhelds #Game&Watch #Nintendo #Retrogaming

Using filters and resonance to get some ethereal sounds on the JX-3P PlugOut.

A little project that I contributed to through Kickstarter #zxspectrum #rubberkeyedwonder

Fun with my new Moog #sounddesign #analoguesynth #werkstat-01

Got the Werkstatt-01 going - needed a power supply. Also made sure everything in my studio is wired properly for working with hardware.

The NFL is removing “End Racism” from their end zones. The NCAA is capitulating to Trump on banning transgender athletes from women’s sports…not that I’m a sports guy by any stretch of the imagination, but wow rollover much? We are truly in a time of cowards.

New Video: youtu.be/Tgir9PLFIrw Rebranded, regrouped and reengergised for 2025. Let's talk about how we can be a "real" museum, what we need to take the next step and how you can help us. Welcome...to The Retro Collective #museum #retrogaming #youtube

A good lesson learned by one of my music production collaborators after buying a new synth - always update to the latest firmware when completely new.

Curious about the music for this scene in @circularbearproject ? Find it here: on.soundcloud.com/pfPRQeRCAmfw...

Not the obituary I wanted to read today. www.theguardian.com/culture/2025...

First track form Strength - DMAO is up on Soundlcoud! #newmusic #independentmusic on.soundcloud.com/deKiLEeM9SwT...

I took Facebook off my devices and check it maybe once, max twice a day. When I check it, I feel a sense of frustration that I’m not connecting with the people I want to due to the ads and “suggestions” to follow. It’s awful.

oops

When a single billionaire can accumulate more money in 10 seconds than their employees make in one year, while workers struggle to meet the basic cost of rent and medicine, then yes, every billionaire really is a policy failure. Read our op-ed here ⤵️

One of my secret weapons for gay clubs ;)

Best review of a gaming handheld ever :) youtube.com/shorts/efA-9...

Countries that have persecuted a small minority of their citizens while at the same time making it harder — or impossible — for members of that minority to travel abroad to escape persecution… yeah, usually a bad sign about where those countries were headed. www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-...

Why critical thinking is important

Target,Meta, Walmart and McDonald’s have curtailed DEI programs in recent months. However, some companies, such as Costco and Microsoft, have publicly emphasized the programs’ importance. Costco shareholders voted overwhelmingly to defeat an anti-DEI proposal. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

If the shareholders in Tesla don’t remove Musk, then they will be complicit in the Nazi bullshit that’s taking over the US.

LOL!!

Something not technical today. I made turnovers for the first time. Just add powdered sugar and easy to eat!

A true hero!

Found my people.

Some good news from Costco. Hopefully this is a bellweather that industry doesn’t buy the anti-DEI bullshit.

Thanks for covering our latest build Hackaday!

Really leaning into the dictatorship accusations already.

Trump has deployed active military to help round up migrants and put them into detention camps. The military forced us out of our homes at gunpoint in 1942 because we were considered possibly disloyal Americans. They sent us to internment camps for four years. History is repeating. Pay attention.

#Amiga1000 upgrades completed. Just such a gorgeous computer.

Now with auto start and boot into RTG mode. Now to see if I can direct the native modes over the Pi. I suspect not, but this #amiga1000 is ready to be used again, other than it likely needs a new power supply and recap.
