Gruber Motors had a terrible fire over the weekend that started with a faulty building electrical panel, and lost 30+ first generation Tesla Roadsters. There were so few Roadsters made (around 2,450) that such a loss is not inconsequential & could represent 2% or more of all remaining Tesla Roadsters on Earth (assuming others have been totaled/scrapped for […]
Here’s a list of all firmware updates through Feb. 8, 2020.
I just traversed 26 NYC blocks on a stand-up electric scooter carrying this 20+ pound Casitone 403 keyboard over my shoulder in an Ikea bag. Feels like I just completed some weird urban olympic event, but instead of a medal I got an analog drum box with stylish wood grain! Fair enough.

Thanks also goes to Steve Beck for inviting me along! Below are a few photos I took of some of the the treasures within.
Defect Reports are a new thing Ebay introduced as part of their 2014 Spring Seller update. The report format can be tough to view in it’s native format (a text-based .csv file). I created a web based viewer to feed your report into and get a much better sense of what’s what. Lots of folks from all over […]
Thanks Mark Geary for the “90’s techno terrorist” t-shirt.
