Shine on you crazy Diamond Quantum Magnetic Sensor.

We’re probably all familiar with the Hall Effect, at least to the extent that it can be used to make solid-state sensors for magnetic fields. It’s a cool bit of applied physics, but there are other ways to sense magnetic fields, including leveraging the weird world of #quantum #physics with this #diamond, #laser & #microwave open-source #sensor.

Building a practical version of this quantum sensor isn’t as difficult as it sounds. The trickiest part seems to be building the diamond assembly, which has the N-V diamond [about the size of a grain of sand and actually not that expensive] potted in clear epoxy along with a loop of copper wire for the microwave antenna, a photodiode and a small fleck of red filter material. The electronics primarily consist of an ADF4531 phase-locked loop RF signal generator and a 40-dB RF amplifier to generate the microwave signals, a green laser diode module and an ESP32 dev board.

All the design files and firmware have been open-sourced, and everything about the build seems quite approachable. The write-up emphasizes Quantum Village’s desire to make this quantum technology’s [Apple II moment], which we heartily endorse. I’ve seen N-V sensors detailed before, but this project might make it easier to play with quantum physics at home.

We are up on the Hirtstein in the #OreMountains for a #contest 2-fer: #IARU Region 1 #FD as DM3F/P and #DARC #Microwave as DM7A. The #weather is stable but the HF PA broke down just one hour into the contest. So it‘s only 100 W on #shortwave for the remaining hours. #S07 #HamRadio #elecraftk3 #morsecode #Amateurfunk

Warped Tour Girl, Part II

All I could think about during the Like Roses, Grayscale, Microwave, Mayday Parade show was how my tit sweat and my ball sweat were merging into one. It was like an episode of Sean Evans Hot Ones except it was bands instead of peppers and also we weren’t eating them, just watching them. Each band was, like, the next step up in the pepper lineup, and no matter how you interpret that, you’re correct. Whether that means each subsequent band was more intense, whether that means each subsequent band was more interactive, whether that means each subsequent band was physically hotter temperature wise.

Then, as a Vans Warped Tour interview with Mayday Parade previewed their set, I remembered that I fucked with their social media before. But last time I did that, I was guessing. I was imagining. I’m not a girl, I never went to Warped Tour, I only had my god given talent of bullshit to rely on.

But tonight, I don’t need to bullshit. I don’t need to imagine. Because I heard it with my own eyes. This is what a Warped Tour girl would say about tonight’s Mayday Parade show.

……….

These opening bands are so good. I can’t believe Carly from work (because we’re old now, remember. Warped Tour was centuries ago) would miss this. Go grab me a beer. Oh my god it’s so hot. What are those tattoos? They’re so weird. Are you ok? AHHHHHHHHH. /Well I thought that we could sit around and talk for hours. About things I couldn’t say to you. And things that we could never do. And this conversation has had no face. When the words take days. You can re-write and erase anything/

……….

Something like that. Now, my tattoos are weird; I am paraphrasing a little bit; and literally everyone in the audience literally sang every word to literally every song.

Literally. If it wasn’t so hot, it would have sent a shiver down my spine. But instead, that was just back sweat making it’s journey to my ass crack.

From the perspective of this sold out crowd of Warped Tour Girls (and guys), it was a must see show. From my perspective, the realisation that I could relate to the general emo vibe was… something. And from the perspective of the bands, it was probably really nice not having to sing every lyric.

And then on my way home, I got to be all emo about it. Carly.

Don’t forget to buy Carly some stupid shirts!

My Panasonic #microwave gave almost up. It has power but only on for half a second of operation. Clock and panel work fine. It looks still like new. Repairing is probably costlier than new and I don’t know anything about electronics to do it myself. Don’t know if repair cafés tackle microwaves either. It looks like an issue with contacts if I read up on it. Shall I:

I'm going to join visual novel game jam again!
Huh? Why I'm drawing microwave?

I think it's funny that they sell "easy to cook" rice in a box that you just add water and microwave.

Like that's just regular rice, you can buy a normal bag of rice and add water and microwave.

#JonKing of the #GangofFour uses a #microwave for #percussion (and a #baseballbat as a drumstick) as the #band performs in the Opera House in #Toronto as part of their farewell tour. “It’s just like seeing #Beyonce,” he mused afterwards to the audience. #music #postpunk

A photo shows an older-looking man in dark trousers and a white jacket. He is Jon King, the lead singer of the Gang of Four, and he’s raising a baseball bat over a badly damaged microwave as well as singing into a mike on a stand.

My microwave just told me that it's watching my career with great interest.

Bit creepy, to be honest.

We had to get a new microwave today as the old one died.

Unfortunately we didn't see that we accidently bought the Sith model by mistake.

So long as we only have one, we'll be ok, right?

A black microwave with a very red LED display.

Harvesting American ground nut (Apios Americana). Tried microwaving one like potatoes and other root crops. Which most of the time works perfectly. I can tell you this doesn't work. Not enough water content. Nut starts turning into coal after 4-5 minutes. #ApiosAmericana #Microwave
