Fixing an old analog white noise machine, the Marsona 1200A. Modern white noise machines sound super tinny and just repeat the same recording over and over, you can start to notice it loop if you're laying in bed long enough.

“Lost media” no longer! I finally got permission to upload “AL’S BRAIN,” an 11-minute educational 3-D film attraction which ran at the Orange County and Western Washington fairs, and hasn’t been seen publicly since 2009. You can watch the whole thing here: youtu.be/2xujU87ZHt4

this is why you OPEN SOURCE things! The ribbon cable on this PC ripped after a decade of use. The design files are public though, so it was trivial to just order another one from a board house. PC saved from the trash!

Also, congratulations everyone who made something this year. A comic, a song, a film, a novel, a painting, a poem, a short story, a sculpture, crochet, embroidery, whatever it is. In this era of slop and theft, if you *make* something you are a shining jewel and I am so grateful for you.
