I fell in love with computer games (or video games, as we called them back in the beginning) at an early age. Pong came out when I was around 10 or so, and I can’t think of any phase in my life since in which I wasn’t at least occasionally playing arcade games or computer [...]

If you happen to have watched the leekspin videos (which I previously blogged here and here) and thought to yourself “that looks like a good deal of fun, except that leeks are, in truth, far too stiff to spin well,” a solution is now available here in the form of a flexible plastic leek.

He just spent three months trying to write the silly things and ended up with no usable results and the opinion [...]

Sigh. Another electronic music icon has died. Allen Strange died on Feb. 20. He somewhat literally wrote the book on analog synthesizers, back before we differentiated analog synths from digital ones because there weren’t any digital synths to speak of. His book, titled simply Electronic Music, one of the best references on both modular synthesizer [...]
