Homework

This is a part of the homework feature of my blog, which is an ongoing conversation with my mate S.F.

Hey mate. Lovely to see you again, as always. Can’t wait to do it all again soon!

A film to check out is Materialists, it’s a bit of fun. Another interesting film is Conclave. And also The Green Knight.

The video where I explain my maths homework is here: Channel News #10: Happy New Year! | Learning Electronics In The Lab With Jay Jay.

This song by the Sex Pistols from back in 1978 is Friggin’ in the Riggin’. Everyone should know this one!

You mentioned Blue Velvet by David Lynch.

I thought it was Cars that was by The Wachowskis but the film I was thinking of was Speed Racer.

You explained lens speed to me.

You mentioned about the film Pirates of Silicon Valley.

I created a bunch of applets to help me practice my arithmetic:

I mentioned about Chase Hughes. He has a bunch of interesting videos. I particularly enjoyed this one: How to WIN the Game of Earth. If you have more time this one is also good: How They Broke us All.

I mentioned I am reading the “classics”. In this case classic open source software, the details are here: Classics.

I mentioned about Ryan Bush who is the person behind Designing the Mind.

The word superordinate means both “of higher rank, status, or value” and “of or being the relation of a broader category to a narrower category that it encompasses, such as metal in relation to iron.”

I mentioned this comic about David Hume: David Hume on Creativity. The idea is that all ideas are combinations and relations of antecedent ideas and there isn’t any genuine “creativity”. Of course that would imply some type of axiomatic ideas or else you could never break into the system…

Silly Job Title: Transistor Troubadour. I am the Transistor Troubadour!

In this video we do the 11th project from the Maxitronix 30in1 Electronics Project Lab Kit: The Beacon Light.

We use the Rigol MSO5074 Mixed Signal Oscilloscope to examine the waveform.

We use the UNI-T UTi260B Thermal Imager to check the thermals (there wasn’t much to see).

We use the Kaisi S-160 45x30cm Repair Mat as our workspace.

Silly Job Title: Spark Slinger. I am the Spark Slinger!

In this video we continue to work our way through Learning the Art of Electronics. In this video we finish 1L Lab: DC Circuits by learning how to use our oscilloscope and function generator.

We use the Rigol MSO5074 Mixed Signal Oscilloscope as our oscilloscope and we use the UNI-T UTG962E Signal Generator as our function generator.
