Pizza Slow (high quality)

  1. Got one of those neato pdp11/70 kits ( https://obsolescence.wixsite.com/obsolescence/pidp-11-get-one) for my birthday. I am shoddy with detail work and managed to only botch two soldering pin-throughs which were easy enough to correct.

    only fitting that, having destroyed every pair of side cutters I’ve ever owned on guitar strings, I initially used a d’addario string winder/trimmer to cut the pins.

    It was insufficient and I finally broke down and caught a bus to the hardware store for a little pair of kleins to finish the job.

    my posting station, two apple studio displays on a white fully standing desk w/ a black embody chair. the desk is covered in entry level soldering gear, coffee cups, an NA beer can, and the kit, in pieces, during assembly.

    closer, later shot of my posting station w. the pdp11/70 kid and a bunch of parts in deli containers surrounded by junk from my soldering gear including electrical tape, masking tape, radioshack leaded solder that is probably older than I am, pickup, wire strippers, needle nose pliars, pinchers, and a cheap iron. A white d’addario string winder sits on the plastic container lid I’m using as a bench rest.

  3. Idk how people who are able are not constantly, when at home, slinking around quiet as a mouse, from activity, to task, to seating, to get a snack, and so on, idk how they live.

    “how quietly can I operate this latch? How softly can I close this door?” I think to myself.

    "how delicately can I step–no, pad–across the room without dragging or stomping my feet. how can I coordinate my limbs like a little dancer?”

    then the parents stay with us for the holidays.
