All The Dumb Things

For the last 5 years (6?) I've been working on a secret guitar pedal, for my friend and former bandmate Wayne. We did 20 years, on and off in Tassy's fab, far out and groovy 60s band, The Breed. He's had trouble finding bassists that stick since I moved to Melbourne. He likes my playing feel, I know when to not look a gift horse in the mouth, so I stuck with, apart from a break to be a better dad, then went back to it... and here I am, 14 years a Melbournite and Wayne is still one of those mates, you don't let go of.

So, today, I sat down to do some last little jobs on the secret guitar pedal (*it's not secret to Wayne, BTW, it's his idea) and realised I had drilled one of the socket holes wrong on one of the 2 boxes, this effect needs. It only needs reeming, no biggy. Can't find my reamer. I've been hammering away at my studio setup today, which involved tearing it down to make room for a table for my keys and drum machine, then putting it back together. That was a biggy. Tomorrow. It's been 5 (6?) years in the making, what's another day?

Here's a song I wrote that The Breed recorded, after I'd moved to "the Paris of the South Seas." Ladies and gentlemen, The Breed perform, "The Radio Told Me"

Performed by The Breed mark IV, Wayne Crisp, Dan Graver and Steve Bowden.

Because I'm That Kind of Crazy

Something I've always been fascinated with are those people who build wooden bikes and trikes. It's something I've wanted to do for a while, too. So, while I wait for other projects' parts to arrive, plug on with yet other projects and generally mess about while I wait for reliable weather to weld my lean steer, steel trike, I decided to design an Ackerman steering plywood trike. This one... The core of this baby is the curved crossmember, or the "wing", as I call it. This render doesn't yet have its brace developed, and the main frame is still the crude draft and needs shaping, but you can see the idea taking shape. The curvature of the wing gives 12 degrees at the steerer head hole centres. It also allows for a single piece wing without having to angle two sides, having a weak point in the middle or having to drill complex angle in flat pieces of wood. All of the correct angls are developed in the shape of the spar and the curvature of the wing. Ot

I Am a Man of Many Projects

Some might argue, "Too many!" As individuals, we are the sum of our ideas, that equation for me results in "technological Trotskyite with a twist." Endless revolution is consensus anarchy in loose collectives, for example the best of the best of free, free, open-source software. Such a group works tirelessly to create an app for community benefit, rewarding significant contributors with "commit privileges" on the version manager where the project is maintained, the collective of contributors having voting rights on who is doing well as a maintainer. The titles are not very anarchistic, but they actually don't have to have any meaning other than the role a person chooses to take on the project. If a fee is charged for the app, the maintainers and regular contributors, get an equal share of the profits. I just recently established a project like this, no bites yet, I've barely the skill to flesh out "HelloWorld.cpp" yet, but I'm offerin

Meanwhile, Developing a MIDI, Tap-Tempo, Master-Clock Pedal...

Image
Kind of the other inspiration for the Robo-Drums, I've also been thinking about a MIDI Master Clock that started with the WAY TOO AMBITIOUS idea of a central 2-way, DINsync-MIDI-And-Back Master Clock, that I thought would be cool to add tap-tempo to. (Draws HUGE breath after that mouthful!) I dug out one of my Wio Terminal micros, promptly killed it on a distraction, dug out the other and started developing this concept. The left and centre buttons will probably have a gang reserved for straight switching of start/stop and pattern-select, as well as for triggering to Wio Term to do MIDI.sendStart/MIDI.sendStop (left) and MIDI.programChange. (Center.) The right button will be the tap-tempo button. The toggle switches will select normally-open/closed modes for the analogue button-out function. On the tap tempo stuff, I got to thinking about " Kilroy's Blues " •1 , a song I wrote back in the mid "noughties," and how it would be cool to "pedal"
