How pimp, seriously?
Thanks a ton to Tom Jenkins and Rita Chipalkatty for their amazing eyes and design help on this — it looks GREAT.
Made this bugger yesterday. It’s all heat-shrinked and electrical taped, so it’s MUCH cleaner than its predecessors — moving along well!

Looking much cleaner, too. I’m trying to heatshrink everything for this one, so we’ll see how it goes, but it’s looking much cleaner so [...]

This one has a few advancements over the one I finished last semester. First and foremost, it’s much cleaner and better laid out, and secondly it has pots to control the sensitivity of the [...]
I’ll be doing a full writeup of all this nonesense shortly, but he’s a pile of photos from the cricket progress thus far:
Meant to post this earlier: testing the Crickets in action — video-styles!

With Conflux just weeks away, it’s probably a good time to start posting my advances with the new Concrete Cricket designs.
I took a really good look at my first boards for the concept I presented back in May, and spent some time getting a more power-efficient, louder, generally less buggy design together. I’m actually [...]
Wow. This is really flattering. And a little scary.
Crickets in MAKE.
The comments are my favorite though — some people are right in line with what I’m thinking of doing next (going more industrial, making them more of an installation and less of a throw-and-go item), and some are just worried about the cops. I think [...]

TechTrekTV’s interview with Adam, Scott and I for the ITP Spring Show is up!
Thanks to Caleb, Robert and Rucyl for doing it, it looks great!
