Blackgroundcorn as wave-function circuit-probe for statistical audio-dynamics

Blackgroundcorn is a simple circuit.  2-lead probe is feedback sensor in a hysterical multivibrator circuit, oscillator that detects resistance and also responds to non-linearities such as silicon, in an audio-dynamical survey of dead/mistake circuit boards to find their "composite wave-function" http://www.ciat-lonbarde.net/TIMARACURRICULUM/TIMARATERIALS/index.html

Baseball Fermions and Bosons

OK, the defense is Bosons.  They own the field.  They can also stand anywhere in the field.  The Fermions are the team at bat.  They can't stand anywhere except the beige cushions spaced harmonically on the field.  And none can stand two to a cushion.  What is the ball?

Present for "Obaachan"

My wife's grandma
celebrated her centennial, and i could not go, but wanted to express something as a synth to her.  The idea is to encode the relationship of grandma to great grandson as two wavelengths, λGrandma λKiri = 100/2.  So two oscillators spaced on the 50th harmonic.  That, in musical pitches is:
  1. choose a lowish, baritone note.
  2. the other note will be 3 octaves and an augmented fifth above.
So this pitch relationship of low to high is meant to instruct the baby on how much "time volume" grandma has really got, compared to his meager two years.
A note on attenuation: due to law of RMS, if the two waves had the same amplitude, the high one would be 50 times louder!  It needs to be attenuated.  Various ways include an rc filter on the speaker amplifier.  I chose to manually step the input resistors.  The high pitch is attenuated 50dB.  It was wrapped in white fur.

Two Paintings @ BMA

I love Oskar Schlemmer.
He was a performance artist,
and his 20s materialist decadence 
looks like our earliest machine ghosts.
This painting is kindof "stupid" in a
cherished ancient futurist way:
the gesso is cracking, it has a custom frame,
and the figure is in an over-ideal pose,
reflecting naivite of those B4 NAZI pogroms

Here's an early NYC dandy, to bring
us back to happy spider-man-land.
