Pictures of things for burning man

This is what my packing looks like right now, hmmm gonna take inventory and get a meal plan!







Got some ruffles on my coat and added an Albert Hoffman stencil (Thanks to http://artsycrap.deviantart.com/)

Shopping, building for the burn

I got the VU meter on a piece of PCB, the picture on the veroboard before wasn't a functioning unit, I made a mistake going straight to soldering the unit, without breadboarding it first. The pictures is of the unit when it was almost done, I strapped a 9v battery on with a zip tie and added a switch for on/off. I then zip tied it to the front wheel of my bike, it looks pretty cool, I tried taking some video but you really can't see much.

I also took a trip to savers and got some playa clothings, went to target and spent the rest of my giftcard on medicines (like tums and tylenol and pepto) also went to walgreens and got a 3 pack of rubbers, just in case something AWESOME happens and a box of top so I can roll some party cigs :)

Leaving on Saturday!

Show video and playa bike update

I borrowed my dad's dremel tool and got the PVC elbow's inside diameter to fit the bike's handle bars (which will be epoxied) I will drill a little hole in the elbow and run the wire out to the solar panel in the middle of the handlebars which will be secured with zip ties and probably duct tape :-P

The show last night went very well, met Chris of yatagarasu, very cool fellow really enjoyed his highly energetic performance! Talked to the coitus and got to look at some of his instruments, I really liked his strobe + squarewave oscillator instrument that had a photocell resistor on it, it was build into a flashlight casing, very nice! Melted cassettes broke my eardrum (not really) but that's not a bad thing, manzareeeta~ cool UV patterns all over.

Well here's the video my sister took of my performance:



I also got a large chunk of PCB board from the shack today, going to be soldering up the VU meter on that for spoke mounting :)

SUCCESS

Slack has been attained

LIVE ACTION Show Tomorrow!

So yes, tomorrow is IT.

Another project

I was thinking of attaching a microphone stimulated VU meter to the spokes of my playa bike, so I ordered the parts a few days ago, and got them in the mail today.

I started putting one together, I'm not following any instructions in particular, I sure hope it works :-/

I guess it will be an experiment! Also put together another LSDJ-MC2, I'll only be using it in sync mode in the show...since I only have 1 gameboy.
I don't know why the pics are sideways.

Defcon 16 Video and a few pics

Hi,
I think I am going to concentrate on constructing better sentences, I've noticed my blog has gone downhill in quality of writing!

Here we have a video of some Defcon 16 happenings:


I was really impressed with this guy, pic taken as we were leaving Vegas on Sunday.Too funny... "Build the perfect dirty bomb", only at Defcon.
Censored license plate, probably could find another photo w/plate #
