THIS GUY LIVES UNDER SFO'S TAKEOFF PATH SO HE BUILT A CEILING PROJECTOR THAT TRACKS EVERY PLANE FLYING OVER HIS HOUSE IN REAL TIME
he uses a cheap $30 radio receiver to pick up the signals that planes broadcast while flying.
then projects them onto his ceiling in real time
when a jet flies over his house you hear it outside and at the exact same moment a plane glides across his ceiling labeled with the airline, aircraft type, and destination
pure black background so the projector's rectangle disappears and only the aircraft are visible
but he didn't stop at planes
it also draws the real sky behind them. sun, moon, bright stars, constellations, and live satellites including the ISS. all at their true positions for his exact location and time in real time
so he's lying in bed watching the actual night sky projected onto his ceiling with real planes crossing through it as they take off from SFO
there is a huge market for every man alive that runs outside to see the helicopter
vibe coded the whole thing himself with a cheap radio, a projector, and some clever software
The year is 1994.
You’re standing in Waldenbooks holding a RIFTS sourcebook with the Minions of Splugorth all over the cover while your mom asks:
“Are you actually going to READ that?”
No, mother.
I’m going to stare at this horrifying techno slime space wizard and his hover bikini cyborg entourage for the next 30 years and develop impossibly specific taste in fantasy art.
Mission accomplished.

Es momento para recordar el cuaderno de notas del Ingeniero Forrest M. Mims III, para el IC 555, que vendia @RadioShackUSA, sumamente me encantaba ver que era a hecho a mano y tan genial! del que aprendimos muchos hace años...
Bugün 5 Mayıs, yani 555 Entegresi Günü. 5. ayın 5'i. Ayrıca piyasaya çıktığından bu yana 55 yıl geçmiş🧐
1971 yılında Hans Camenzind tarafından tasarlanan bu küçük dev, aradan geçen 55 yıla rağmen hala her mühendisin ve hobi sahibinin çekmecesinin vazgeçilmezi. Benim de en çok kullandığım çiplerden biridir muhtemelen.
Entegrenin adı iç yapısındaki üç adet 5k dirençten oluşan gerilim bölücüden geliyor.
Günün şerefine 555'li bir devre yapayım bari 😁

@SixthSensetime That would be awesome and a worthwhile trade for me. We will need to figure out what I can offer you. I did finally get my first shiny yesterday at the end of the day, ironically. Just not the broken heart design.
I did a #HamRadio presentation for some of my Colleagues at work this afternoon. The topic was HF portable operations and why we do it. It went well and was interesting. I might have to get on the air again soon.

The Dodgers acquired Will Klein from the Mariners in June for Joe Jacques (who they signed to a minor league deal over the offseason).
He has pitched 3 shutout innings in World Series Game 3, allowing just 1 hit with 4 strikeouts.
What a performance.
