"Nostalgic chair pays a tribute to now obsolete medium of cassette tape, which was the first to introduce mobility to music reproduction as well as the first recording medium that permitted us to create our own personalizad mix tapes. Long live the Tape!"(via Recyclart)
Können wahrscheinlich die Wenigsten was mit anfangen. war mit das Interessanteste, was nachts auf einem der drei TV-Kanäle lief, die wir damals hatten.
"Test run of my (d)iskette (O)rgan doing Toccata & Fugue ... Features two 3 1/2" drives and two 5 1/4" drives connected to a PIC18f14k50 microcontroller. It interfaces to any MIDI source via MIDI over USB. Straight MIDI would also be possible with an additional small circuit and some minor firmware changes. This initial version can respond to all 128 MIDI notes, and pitch bends +/- 2 semitones ..."
"This page is dedicated to cassette tapes... Here you won't find any kind of scientific research, technical data or things like that... The authors' only message is just to give a visitor something interesting to look at… The era of this particular medium is slowly passing, and here we are trying to turn back time for 60 minutes… or, maybe, for 90..."

"Personal project imagining a how Facebook would have looked on an old fashioned computer in 1984, using a pixelated DOS-style font and a heavy use of texture, lighting and reflection. The 'Home' screen displays various updates from users which relate to the time period. For example, note 'updated via Analog Motorola' instead of an iPhone or Blackberry."

"... includes a complete mobile work station, an Entertainment package and robotic functions. Inside was a complete proprietary SysCon computer. This was used to do computing task and control the robotic functions ... The entertainment package included a voice synthesizer with a 1200-word vocabulary, a 12" black and white television, and AM/FM stereo cassette player, an Atari 2600 video game set and a digital clock that displayed time and temperature. There was an optional voice command module that included a microphone to command Hubot verbally. Hubot could be preprogrammed to follow a programmed path or driven with a joystick. Once taught a path, Hubot could be command to follow it again with the touch of a button ..." Hubot
"A long time ago, when computers still used floppy disks, there was a need to duplicate the contents of these floppies. X-Copy was one of the most well known disk copying programs for the Commodore Amiga ... The disk images you can find here have been taken from the actual master disks, to preserve the legacy as authentically as possible ... The current copyright owner has graciously allowed the releases to be archived here, as long as they are not sold for any amount of money, or included in any collection/product that is sold for any amount of money."(via Superlevel)

The Guitar, Keyboard, Cow Bell, Cymbal and Tambourine are all controlled by various types of push/pull solenoinds for a total of 23. The Solenoids are powered by four ULN2803 darlington drivers and everything is controlled by two PIC16F84A microcontrollers.
