In mid-March I spent about a week in the resort town of Grindelwald.  It was a working trip; I didn't get a chance to ski or explore very much.  Still, it was pretty spectacular there.  Our hotel was near the base of the Eiger.  Rather than email a trip report with a bunch of photos to my friends & family, I've finally figured out how to use a photo gallery plugin here.  Very slowly, this is starting to look like a real website!

More, and photos, below the fold.

My six-channel audio amplifier, version 1

This is an audio amplifier I built for my apartment.  I've never had a proper surround sound system, even though my computers can output it.  (And I use my computer to listen to music and watch movies, as well as gaming.)  My original goal was a six-channel amplifier that can output least 50 W per channel.

Sometimes I seem to attract interesting old electronic instruments.  Around 2008 I came across an almost-working Korg DSS-1 keyboard.  The DSS-1 was one of the first keyboards to incorporate digital sampling and combined digital and analog effects.  It is also an interesting mix of old and new.  It has a distinctive sound that is still good even today; but that is combined with a klunky user interface and a 3.5" floppy drive for storing instruments.  Like the Rodgers organ before it, I fixed the keyboard up and passed it on to someone who can hopefully make use of it.
