271: Shell Scripts for the Soul YouTube video by Embedded Podcast

I mostly do acoustic guitar + voice, although the uke & octave mandolin may appear too :)

Working on actually recording some of my originals; many are "shell scripts for the soul" (as explained on @embeddedfm.bsky.social , below).

Here's the official concert page: cal.gravitons.org/event/nham-i...

Self-portrait of Alex, with concert info under the artist name "the_merlin". Flavortext: cozy & casual / mostly originals / beyond Space Songs (as I'll be playing only a couple of my favorite Space Song Sunday selections, among many others that rarely get an audience).

Doing a virtual concert on the fediverse this Thurs! It's part of a series by #NHAM, and will be live on #TIBtv.
Also trying to record it for my #MakerTube (the new home for Space Song Sundays!) ✨

Chill set, mostly originals 💙

Wowww, lush~

IMPORTANT ARTEMIS II HOT SAUCE UPDATE

Thanks to Carlie Kollath Wells’ reporting out of Axios New Orleans (which I confirmed via email since there are two versions of the article out) ….

WE HAVE OUR LIST.

It’s these 4 pictured, plus Heinz Hot Taco Sauce!

There's definitely overlap! Put Miserlou over a horse chase and tell me that ain't cinema :D

Personally, I love both genres – plus a secret third thing at the intersection of '50s rock / swamp pop / soul... just bend some guitar strings, pour on the reverb, dump in some drama, and I'm in heaven.

Another one that got an instant "wtf??" and was absolutely worth the listen

I definitely made Assumptions based on the band name & title, then the description hit like a cartoon piano [complimentary]

Did I get added to a starter pack again? Sudden wave of followers!

Hello everyone :)

Wow! An actual banger 🤩

Get behind me, pinball Satan!!!

I need a whole album of Brian May indulging his astrophysics side. '39 is god-tier

I bet those manual sheets are amazing. The DeLorean Hackster bought came with one of those giant poster ones. Wanted to roll up and sleep in it 😸

If it helps, a friend was visiting the area and I still completely brainblob'd out on it ;_;

If you mean for the earthquakes, I recommend the East Bay... moved here a while ago and they're much more noticeable! Every few months or so, Gaia's kitten bats us around a little

I'm ever tiptoeing around the black hole of pinball machine fixation because I can *see* the gravity well... for now, I just fixate on that one machine :D

Oh dangggg, think I need these...

Xenon pinball machine diagram ("Figure III") from the 1980 manual – nearly plotted and labeled, including what seem to be later additions in a typewritten font, then photocopied in B&W. Includes "plumb bob tilt" and "inclined tilt" labels.

Made a comment about being tilted like a pinball machine and ended up in the Xenon manual to see if there are any diagrams of the alert 👀

Man it's so tasty

ia601702.us.archive.org/6/items/1979...

Wrong geotag but hey I'm just a stuck bag of Baked Lay's in the vending machine of life

Woken up by Mother Nature's own hangry tantrum

(Now fixating on the band name potential of "hangry tantrum")

There's a thing in the game Hades where there are cages filled with souls scattered around, and if you jostle them, they all send up little ":O !!" faces in cartoon bubbles.

Anyway --> #SFBay #earthquake :)

We did just get tilted like a pinball machine!

Felt #earthquake: 4.8 #quake 11 mi northwest of Santa Cruz, Santa Cruz County, California, United States, 5 minutes ago - 102 reports so far.
Did you feel it? Send a report!

Daaaannggg, formative media for me! I was just out of college and briefly dating someone who was awful, but had great taste in media. 😆

I love how all the languages have actual functional alphabets! I've never figured out the Ridrom scroll one... perhaps will give it another go for the anniversary

Couple of friends just dropped their new game! Complete with lovingly crafted graphics & soundtrack... and currently 15% off 👀

1 hour and counting :D

Live in ~4h! #Hardware, #Security, #OpenSource, and #Maker goodness all in one.

I may have gone overboard and done some IR camera modding last night, inspired by the IRIS (infra-red, in-situ) chip inspection for which @bunnie.org optimized the @baochip.com 👀

Lots to dig into! Come join the chat 😄
