George Gershwin - Rhapsody in Blue

Played by fifteen year-old Maja Babyszka. Gershwin must've liked Rachmaninov a lot!

Ben Eater on Running a Breadboard at 1MHz

Image
It works fine! This is a really useful video showing lots of basics of digital electronics. See  https://eater.net/6502  for kits and videos. Here's an idea for a little project based on Ben's kits. Make a high-speed bidirectional communications link between two asynchronously-clocked 6502 CPUs using a couple of blocks of, say, 2KB SRAM (on separate chips) which have their address logic controlled by the outputs of the 6522 PIAs in such a way that each CPU can write data onto one of the chips and then switch that chip onto the address and data bus of the other CPU. You will need a few tri-state buffer elements to do this. How about doing a PCB link module with, say, an ICE-40 FPGA implementing this functionality and providing a pair of header-pins that could be used to bridge two breadboards? The next idea is to design a PCB with four 6502 CPUs, each connected via one of these link modules to two others in a square, and having four sets of headers around the edge ...

'Er Maj. Puts George Gallow[s w]ay in Mind of Vera Lynn

... and Roger Waters' The Wall , I shouldn't wonder! His speech puts me in mind of George Formby. Quite prophetically, I think: Being reunited with my  family sounds much more like a threat than a promise. What I want to see, marm, is you and your so-called government reunited with their senses. Particularly their sense of reality! I am not the property of the Crown or the so-called University of Cambridge or of the British people. I don't care how many bullshit movies you make about it!! See  All About Eve - December  and  WION - Love in The Time of Coronavirus . Another Royal Command performance, marm? This time served with Prawn Coctail flavoured crisps and Thousand Island™ dressing? Which strings? Let's start here, with a bucket of dicks, shall we? Don't worry, we'll get here quickly enough!  Queen Elizabeth II Hosts NATO Conference  via  Polly Samson's Theatre for Dreamers . And thence to  Freeman Dyson Making Complet...

This is A Big Part of Our Problem

Not enough bad romance: On electric shocks and diuretics  12 minutes 48 seconds  see  Mitochondria Batteries . The immune systems of birds, reptiles, mammals and plants are all interconnected, and they are interconnected with the ecosystem dynamics of the so-called pathogens, viruses and bacteria, which co-evolve together. So when we vaccinate large sectors of the population, for example, we change the nature of many other viruses and bacteria.
