Back when some us were thinking of new names for the podcast, Steve, N8NM thought of Purple Haze by Jimi Hendrix and came up with this set of lyrics (listen to the video above to get the tune).
Solder Haze, all in my brain
Making rigs, some don't work that great.
They're acting funny, but I don't know why
Kill some birds for that Legba guy.
Solder Haze, all around.
Don't if I should turn the bias down.
Or maybe I should raise the Vcc
Oh, it's a FET, that would make it Vdd.
Solder Haze, all in my eyes
Don't know if it's day or night.
You got me blowing, blowing my mind
Come tomorrow, I won't be to work on time.

Pete, WB9FLW took a more, well, defiant line. He came up with new name for the podcast that sort of captures the shocking level of indignation that this completly bogus story generated. Pete suggests that we simply call the new show: "FLUX YOU"
Thank you gentlemen. You are both, in a way, poets. And Hendrix would, I think, approve.
Now, will the Wizard of Newbury Park pull out his guitar and get to work on this?

Flux You is absolutely brilliant! Along those lines, no workbench is complete without a can of Flux Off.
ReplyDeleteOne suggested refinement: How about "Flux U"? That gives it something of an educational twist. TRADEMARK PENDING!!!
ReplyDeleteI like! Beats my alma mater,the South Hamtramck Institute of Technology,which is better known by its initials.
ReplyDeleteYes, we must think of the children. They are our future!
