I’ve been obsessed with VU meters since childhood since we had a portable cassette recorder with LED VUs..It was the bush 7070, this ghettoblaster/boombox is so rare that image search only comes up with a single image of it, and here it is: It has these quirky V shaped VU Meters which are quite unique.…
This is by no means the first ever blog I’ve done. I’ve blogged before, even since mid 2000s. I have posts dotted around here and there, which I’d like to gather up in time and put them all in once place. Here. So over time you will start seeing blog posts appearing before this post.…
Something I didn’t expect to find myself doing is designing a UI of something. Not because of ability but just because I just didn’t expect to have the opportunity to have a go at that.

I’m extremely excited about receiving this SIDBox prototype as it’s always been a dream device of mine. I am someone who has always been obsessed with Amiga music from childhood. Starting from the moment my brother got a Hifi system and linked the Amiga to the Aux in. The MOD tapes began. In high school…
I’ve had a thing for the Commodore 64 SID chip ever since i’ve known about it and despite only briefly knowing the C64 breadbin/breadbox in childhood from the kid down the street. I’ve wanted to get that particular one in recent times and I do have a preference to the original 6581 SID chip. Last…
SidBox still Seems years away from completion? Is this the case? I think folks would love some Road Map confidence…
