Little rhythm machines by Teenage Engineering. Pocket sized beatboxes and samplers. They connect together to synchronize the beats.

The university I teach at is banning face-to-face classes for at least the rest of the month as a preventative measure (thanks a lot, COVID-19), so I am scrambling to covert my format for online instruction. Already recorded a few videos today and have a bunch more to go. Good times.

That’s awesome! Hit em with the boom bap!

Another day at the office, finalizing a logo for a sister park to the one I work at and learned some neat stuff in After Effects on my down time…still being productive experimenting and learning new stuff that can be applied to a future project :slight_smile:

Lastly, enjoyed the rather light traffic coming home today (and this week). A lot of people are working and/or staying home, thus making traffic flow wonderfully…

I’m doing the exact same. We’re struggling with how to do lab experiments in a meaningful way. Online teaching is not my bag; I’m barely competent enough to post here.

Hey it’s nice to see you Greg! :smiley:

Man…I had a heck of a time with the one online course I had to take in college. Going into it, they said it was going to be structured.
It wasn’t.
I had to write 8 essays during the semester for the course. Decided it’d be fun times to put doing them off till the last few weeks.
Oh…did I say ā€˜fun times’? Yeah…never mind. It was a nightmare! haha

Yeah, I’ve been busy, and this site dropped off my list. I’ve missed it, but haven’t had time.
Fortunately in this case the students have the time slots blocked off, so we can do things synchronously. Hopefully we won’t run into the ā€œeverything due at onceā€ problem. We also already have relationships with the students. I just wish we had more that a few days to get this all moving.

I feel for you, man. I’m a historian, so it’s much easier for me to shift things to online. The college is struggling to handle labs, studios, etc., as there really is no good alternative to f2f there.

Im starting a restoration on this 1940s mini mill. Found it in an old shop and everything looks stellar considering it’s age. Just doesn’t turn on yet.

Looks like you could use that thing to drill yoyos and mod them for side effects. :slight_smile:

Today, I am lamenting our fear-mongering overreactive authorities, our opportunistic profiteering corporations, and our uneducated population that is causing great turmoil from misinformation and herd mentality. Stop excessively buying up water, canned goods, sanitation supplies, and medical supplies. I mean unless you’re trying to waste money and cause nationwide shortages. If so, then go right ahead. For anyone who understands medicine and microbiology and physiology even a minute amount, you would know that unless you’re immunocompromised you have nothing to fear, except hair-brained boneheaded people (who are, sadly, very dangerous). So I guess, really today, I’m ranting. At least gas prices are going down.
