Seeking Burgundy Light

A typical dream- trying to order Burgundy LEDs on Mouser.com, and finding none; thus thinking inductively, I posit that a church must have such colors in its inventory (for simulating and highlighting wine, mellow spirits of peace, candle light, and other blood ceremonies), and track down a church in Rhode Island.  There it is found that I own the crawlspace above the altar (which has been removed now the church is Unitarian and teenagers have their Friday night garage bands there.  Liking this safe crawlspace, I decide to make burgundy instruments there, but lo it is morning and the shafts of light have penetrated the cloister, and the birds are making a great noise- i must turn back to my Mouser order, and its red, "dim orange", and blue LEDs of the lower sphere, the realm of concrete and aesphalt and steel.

Heavy Metal Fondant

May of now: Charm City Cakes and Westside Metals team up, to produce a decorative cake featuring the vibrant colors of RoHS metals in its Fondant.  For those of us who don't know what "Fondant" is, it is a sort of structural crust, that encapsulates the cake, and softer icings which may be inside.  Fondant is usually made out of pure "diabetic" sugar, mixed with various food grade dies.  Now, the Charm City/Westside Metals cake, as it is known, features a fondant made up of up to 50 percent deprecated metals, such as Cadmium, Mercury, and Lead.  Although the inside is made out of flour, cream, and eggs, it is not intended to be eaten, rather buried alive in a sarcophagus of heavy metals- it is purely for decoration purposes.  Says Monsieur Duff of the cake company: "It was totally liberating to think in terms of non-edibility.  Look at this brilliant red mercury iodide!  And over here, the cadmium sulfide almost glows in the dark when mixed with sugar.  I now can add lead to anything and it makes the cake have that 50s sputnik, heavy cars, heavy metal feel."  Although this is primarily meant to be a safe way to dispose of RoHS metals, the CCCWM team hopes to move on to other poisonous, but not RoHS compounds, such as Copper Sulfate, for turquiose.  Also not mentioned in the RoHS series, are the Polybrominated Biphenyls and Polybrominated Biphenyl Ethers, which have no real color to speak of, but may be a good centerpiece at a party, when shaped into the proper cake.

Thought I had already uploaded this.  It is from the papers associated with producing "LABORATORY ROOLZ-GEWEI".  Oh now I know where I uploaded it: on that synth's facebook page!  Yes, it is the phirst synth to have a "FACE" on "FACEBOOK".  Now, this image is about the dichotomy between Drum and Drama, as seen in the overt flesh of Male and Female.  Against a backdrop of the sea- CD4015 silicon topology (dimensions may differ, contact your sales office) for an 8 stage shift register.  He projects his boogy board, and his tattoos.  He is- CD4013, dual flip flop.  She- a CD40106 hex schmitt inverter.  Look closely.  These wonderful little black and white labyrinths are actually the lithography print for silicon chips.  These images are from the older, Texas Instruments data sheets, which actually tried to give you a picture of what the chip looks like "on the inside".  I thought of them as sort of "tattoos" for signal flow.  Tommy Lee came in when I saw a Youtube video of him talking about electronic music "drum machines".  Well, Roolz is a drum machine; so let's appropriate tommy into this, and see how it ties into drama, by introducing Pamela, the object of desires, the source of hexing.  These three chips- the background sea 4015, the tommy lee 4013, and the pamela 40106 hex, are used in the Roolz-Gewei drum machine, they make up his "FACE".  Note they all start with 40, which means they are part of the classic, "4000 series" of logic chips, from the 20th century: 4000_series

What's Green in Electronics?

When looking at how organic farming is, or wood working, which uses natural materials, an electronics engineer becomes jealous because there is so little possibility 2 B Green there.  There are two possible answers: PCBs and PCBs.

To summarize, "What's Green in Electronics?" is thusly answered:

  1. PCBs (Printed Circuit Boards)
  2. PCBs (Polychlorinated Biphenyls)

Environmental Health News: Mixing Mercury with PCBs reduces affect on hearing in RATS.
PCBs are industrial chemicals historically used as insulators and coolants in electrical applications. They persist in the environment and can accumulate in fatty tissues of people and animals. Because of these properties, their use is now banned in most industrialized nations.
THEY HAVE A DAMPENING AFFECT ON GABA.  
THEY ACT LIKE DIOXIN ON THE NEURONS
Despite these caveats, the strong point of this study is that it is able to provide important insight into the vexing question of how PCBs affect chemical signaling in the brain.
"Dendrite growth and branching during early development is a finely orchestrated process, and the presence of certain PCBs confuses the conductor of that process," said Pamela Lein, a developmental neurobiologist and professor of molecular biosciences in the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine. "Impaired neuronal connectivity is a common feature of a number of conditions, including autism spectrum disorders."

It has to do with calcium
The non-dioxin like PCBs
Makes you grow more dendrites
Than humans have ever fit into a skull b4

"Orderly choreography of the calmodulin kinase-to-Wnt2 pathway translates normal increases in calcium levels into normal levels of dendrite production," said Wayman
