I think it's cute that this on the the front page of Hacker News. I think it's confusing that it was published in an IEEE publication, rather than a hobby mag.

I think it's cute that this on the the front page of Hacker News. I think it's confusing that it was published in an IEEE publication, rather than a hobby mag. There was no engineering involved in this, nor any real audio knowledge. That's OK. Not everybody can be an expert at everything, but it was puzzling to see it in IEEE. I think it's great that this guy is building something with his son, and I liked that he linked to Octopart.com, which is an amazing resource that I wish I had known about years ago.
