What’d I do this weekend?

Busy weekend! On Friday I gave an hour-long webcast, walking folks through building their own $10 Electric Guitars (Project 13 in Snip, Burn, Solder, Shred) and on Saturday morning I was interviewed during the second half of GeekSpeak on KUSP radio (central-coast CA).
The folks at O’Reilly Publishing, who hosted the
Webcast: A Stick, Some Wire, A Can, and Some Wax: The $10 Electric Guitar, have made video of the whole hour available on YouTube (embedded below). Combine that with this PDF of the PowerPoint presentation (including nice sharp versions of all the charts and diagrams), and you’re ready to build your one-string axe. Get to it! If you need some 42-gauge winding wire, I can help you out.

As for the GeekSpeak appearance, you can check out the details here: Show for February 12, 2011 – GeekSpeak–or download the full hour of audio directly (I come in around the half-way mark; you’ll get to hear me blather, make weird yummy-noises-of-agreement, quote a +20-year-old Eddie Murphy routine, cough loudly into the mic, and wail on the $10 electric guitar through the Two-Transistor Fuzztone).
REMINDER: In about a week (Feb 22) I’ll be doing a two-hour all-ages cardboard boomerang workshop at the Ann Arbor District Library Downtown Branch! See you there OR ELSE!
