I have been looking for a nice 70s cassette deck to go with my receiver/amp and I stumbled upon an Atari 410 Program Recorder 5 mies away for $25. I have to get it, right? I have been planning on making a cassette tape loop art piece and I think it's a sign.

@MakersHour@cupoftea.social Q5: If you could have an all-expense paid maker holiday, where would you go and why? #MakersHour I would go to the Center for Metal Arts in Johnsburg, Pennsylvania and take a class on metal forging.

@MakersHour@cupoftea.social Q3: Have you ever made something to make a journey of any kind easier? #MakersHour I have a zipper bag I sewed at Maker Camp that I use to organize my cables and bits when traveling. I need to make a few more. Very handy.

@MakersHour@cupoftea.social Q2: Do you make things while travelling (business/vacation)? What is in your ‘must bring’ toolbox? #MakersHour I usually only bring a notebook and my iPad and stick to drawing, but I find it difficult to dedicate time to it while traveling. It's aspirational.

@beep@follow.ethanmarcotte.com I found the part about feeling the "AI" was a partner interesting. For a while I worked with programmers in the Philippines and it was great because our days were almost completely opposite, so I would work and hand off the my partner in another time zone and come back in the morning. This is a great rhythm because of the 12 hours of downtime. Constantly checking in on "AI" would be the opposite.

@MLE_online@social.afront.org This was a big thing in 7th grade shop class, but we just drew the design and the teacher handled the router, which was probably a good thing!

@tomjennings@tldr.nettime.org Cool. I just listened to a podcast on computer history that covered the Difference Engine. One of the first commercially made ones was at the Dudley Observatory in Albany New York near me. It's at the Smithsonian now.

@jacob@social.jacobian.org I did change my well pump in 1 visit! Record I think was 7 in one day. I definitely had the 1 day record for the local auto parts store I could walk.

@bit101 Interesting. My whole career was learning all kinds of stuff looking through the code to find the thing. Again, I think I am not necessarily typical but it worked for me!

@jab01701mid There's apparently a few web-based apps that are a better value. I used H&R Block for years but switched this year and it was actually easier. I have a Schedule C business and it was cool. Either way the cost is worth it for the time!
