I made some notes about God Created the Integers by Stephen Hawking which I have been reading recently. I’m in the process of creating a new book teardown for it. I needed to make some notes about how to pronounce various names. I didn’t do this until I was half-way through the book though. If I had have taken the time to do this activity sooner I would have embarrassed myself less. Anyway. Better late than never!
The book that I mention I’m doing a new book teardown for is God Created the Integers, so keep your eye out for that coming up soon on the main channel.

I mention that I recently got my symbol keyboardworking on Linux! Pretty happy about that! These are the extra keys that I have at my workstation now: ° ± § λ Δ Σ Π Ω ε µ π θ
I also get a bunch of stuff from AliExpress, including:
And yes, despite confusion, I did get three lots of two different kinds of hard brushes, and yes, I did end up saying the wrong thing in the video! Can’t take me anywhere.
Oh, and as I mention in the video I am from a beautiful part of the world known as the Blue Mountains. It’s pretty hot here today!
In the end my collection of Arduino boards includes:

In this video I take a good long hard look at the entirety of this book.
The book is Basic Electronics – Volumes 1 through 6 written by Van Valkenburgh, Nooger and Neville, Inc. and published in 1955.
The book is about the state of electronics at the time it was written. It was commissioned by the United States Navy, who used it to train their technicians. Later, it was released for civilian use.
In the book there is lots of material on vacuum tubes, which were state of the art at the time. The sixth volume adds material on transistors and frequency modulation, which were bleeding edge technology at the time.
I learned heaps from reading this book, particularly about the various types of vacuum tubes (also known as “valves” by the British): diode, triode, tetrode, pentode, and Klystron, among others.
Also I learned that the name “transistor” is a contraction of “transfer resistor”, I didn’t know that!
