For my son John's birthday I ordered a Minimum Theremin kit from Harrison Instruments. I was inspired by seeing Bre Pettis make one in the Make Weekend Project Podcast. I came and over a few days we soldered and assembled it. It is pretty neat t...

It's hard to believe that this Vox thing started a year ago. While I haven't posted frequently over the last while, I'm still glad that I joined and I like how easy it is to post and share things with the world, my neighborhood and friends. Congra...

Fresia and the Offsprings

nobody@vox.com(Chris) — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 08:35:39 -0300

Tracing the series of events that lead to things can be interesting. A few years ago someone studied Screen Arts and I found out that they had kids and that her partner was a musician. I was able to listen to his music and Catherine made a cool mu...

65 Weeks

nobody@vox.com(Chris) — Fri, 15 Jun 2007 19:24:34 -0300
