Just learned that Don Lancaster passed away June 7 of this year, about a month ago. He was a true pioneer of the microcomputing age, publishing many articles in Popular Electronics, Radio Electronics, 73 and Byte. Have a few of his books in my office bookshelf

It is 3-03 day. 303 day. A reminder I&#39;ve made available on mix cloud a mix I did in 1989 of some really cool acid house and adjacent featuring the #Roland #tb303 #djmix #mix #dj #synth #house #acidhouse #acid #music I&#39;ll also point to some tracks and albums I&#39;ve done over the years featuring the TB-303 (or clones, more recently) https://www.mixcloud.com/fdion/dj-francois-dion-acid-mix-1989-le-dormeur/

I had this #magnetic #tape #reel still shrinkwrapped. Imagine that, a tape from 1964 still unplayed like new. Finally opened it. Not sure how long I&#39;ve owned it. Playing it back on the Akai GX280DSS (a 2 channel / 4 channel surround reel to reel unit from the 1970s). Sounds very nice. No loss, damage or stretching. No sticking either. #Bach played by a #French #jazz band. A 62 year old tape on a 50 year old tape recorder, both looking and sounding like new. #music #akai #ampex
