DIY Lasercut Microphone Shock Mount
Why? Everything started with editing an episode of nerddorf radio. We use a SE1000A from sE Electronics that I bought from reddogmusic here in Edinburgh. And it is a great mic, especially now that it is on offer. We have a lot of problems because we are using just one mic to record the four [...]
Moments of Revelation
I just typed a 5000 word rant about the lack of service in the british banking industry. And then it hit me. I am being a complete idiot. Why getting upset about something you are doing once a year. You shouldn’t. I just run in a stressed woman in the service business, and I was [...]
Old video games are kind of hard

But hey, democracy is build a round the idea, that everybody has the right to make dimwitted decisions. So what? So what, you ask? I [...]
The Internet manifest (in English)
A bunch of web-affine journalists and bloggers from Germany are trying to explain to the journalism industry, what its problem is and how it can survive.

Intence
At the moment I am not in the best mood.The reason for that is, you might ask yourself. Traveling; I have spend to much time in and around airports. The whole traveling by plane and the labor involved is pissing me of. I just can’t avoid the feeling that airport security was made to support [...]
