This is the first time a book I've contributed to has gotten the subway platform publicity treatment.
#histodons #Montréal #HigherEd

A wide-angle photo looking down a subway platform (Peel Station, Montreal metro). On the right are the tracks. On the left is a large ad for the book, "McGill in History."

As activity from the bees and other pollinators winds down, I'm reminded that sometimes it's nice to focus on the flowers without all the distractions. #bloomscrolling

Enjoyed the #HarryBertoia exhibit.

Untitled Sonambient instrument/sculpture made from beryllium copper and aluminum on brass plate with 16 rods in a tight 4 × 4 layout. There are mallet-like caps on each rod, each are slightly different heights.
Closeup of an untitled graphite drawing on paper.
Closeup of another (I think) untitled Sonambient instrument/sculpture. It looks like a squarish, oversized cymbal with an unusual opening in the center that appears to be slit down the side.
Closeup of an untitled sculpture which from afar looks like a nut tree. It’s made of hundreds of beryllium copper rods with slightly flattened pods attached to the ends.

Closeup of bond pad on a PIC12F683 after etching off the Cu ball bond.
Gold: overglass sealing the edges of the bond pad
White: Al bond pad surface
Tan: Barrier/adhesion layer under the Al, likely TiN (more likely) or sometimes TaN
You can clearly see the imprint where the bond wire (etched off during decap) squished into the pad and squeezed the aluminum out around the perimeter. The middle area either got thinned down mechanically during the bonding process, or form…

some closeups provided by my lovely partner-in-crime.
We made a gap for the arbutus tree to grow into :)
New fence posts always remind me of soldiers when they have the supports holding them up.

Happy Wattle Day! In this case Acacia rossei somewhere west of Kalgoorlie WA #RoadTrip

Did I mention IC reversing is absolute crack for AuDHD brains?
I should probably put down the EEPROM, at least for a while, and move on to other stuff. But I'm having too much fun.
This is the dangerous part, and the part I have the most trouble with... the problem is so big you'll *never* be done (especially doing it manually without any automation, figuring out what each cell is by hand, etc).
There's always more to discover. Nerd sniping to the 20th power.

Sunflower

Closeup photo of a sunflower head. Bright yellow petals surround the hundreds of individual reddish-brown flowers in the middle of the larger “flower”. Dark, out of focus background, green, out of focus leaves and stems on the right.

Continuing work on the PIC12F683 video. Ripped out all of the early rambling guesswork floorplan analysis I did on the top metal and replaced it with a much more in-depth floorplan discussion looking at the substrate-level floorplan.
Video is now just shy of an hour 20 in length and I still need to add:
* Quick intro to digital CMOS layout and standard cells (planning to film this tonight)
* Deep dive on SRAM
* Deep dive on flash
* Deep dive on fuses/configuration…
