Properly slammed, and with fresh bar tape. She is ready for the Marin Century tomorrow… hopefully I am too!

After about a year of work, I've finally finished redesigning the PCB layout for the original T2. The new layout supports several different active battery implementations, as well as multiple CCS options, making it much more flexible for different builds and future experimentation. I've also completely redesigned the chassis. Like the original concept, it will still use a two-chassis configuration, with the power supply and amplifier housed separately. It's been a long project, but it's exciting to finally see it coming together. I'll share more photos and progress updates as the build moves forward.

The Weather and the parking gods smiled on us as we got to show Sue why Big Sur and Highway 1 have the reputation they do.

Very much my vibe.

I did make one but the thick film SMD resistors drifted with temperature so it made it unstable. Maybe with MELF resistors it'll be better.

It's out (a little early). DOMi & JD Beck's Who Asked? Ex.

Xiu Xiu* Plays the Music of Twin Peaks *'... they wrote their first Xiu Xiu song after leaving a San Jose dance club alone on a Christmas night: "Xiu Xiu came from feeling stupid and lonely and then wanting to dance it away, but having the club and its music only magnify that stupid and lonely feeling."' For the more adventurous there is their The Promise release, though I can't say it's more interesting.

Quiet birthday dinner for Melissa before larger plans, including a comedy show, this weekend. Speaking of comedy we strangely found birthday Covid cards in 2026.
