ACTIVE FILTER CB

Seventeenth edition of the most popular active filter book of all time. Active filters replace coils with opamp circuits. Especially for audio and music. This is the Synergetics Press edition. TTL COOKBOOK

Millions of copies sold for this popular integrated circuit logic family. Since early computer stores had no products, visitors had to physically climb over a pallet of these to leave. MACHINE LANGUAGE I

I did split our original Micro Cookbook volume II into two ebooks to let them download a lot faster. And later did yet another Director' Cut as a demo of our restoration services.

I thought I'd throw in this unusual find here...



NUCLEAR SLIDE RULES

Kiss your onager goodbye! With these mint, sealed, and unused cold war nuke calculators. An extremely rare collectible.

Can't you just picture a Master Sergent out in the open furiously spinning these and "Dang! There goes another one!" These and bunches more on our eBay store.

Director's Cuts

deeplink • top • bot • respond

Director's Cuts are my method of restoring Linotype era books and stories to beyond their formal glory. Major benefits include very low file sizes, "perfect" typography and backgrounds, color addons, full URL linkings, removal of hyphens, paragraph ledding, voice and more. But it is time intensive and has a steep learning curve. More details here.

My Predictions

deeplink • top • bot • respond

Stunning breakthroughs in quantum computing making highly disrupting cryptocurrency value generation nearly free.



Because of their production similarities between cotton and marijuana, standardization emerging on 500 pound bales. With partial bales being deemed "personal use".



A rapidly accelerating rate of conversions of the few remaining coal fired power plants into singles bars. As their highest and best use.



Single passenger drones ( possibly tethered ) that make border fences even more utterly ludicrous.



Dramatic improvements in presently terrible HVAC. In theory the SEER max is 300 or a COP of 120.



Effective solutions in making older display or print formatted info becoming much more mobile friendly.



Significant improvements in solid state Peltier-like cooling, but still restricted to specialty apps or scams.



All hell breaking loose after PV cell pricing having already blasted through the crucial eight cents per peak cell watt threshold like it was not even there.



Utter dominance of LED lighting techniques driven by its outstanding efficiency and design flexibility. Especially for vehicle headlights.



Hangnails rapidly becoming a qualifying condition for medical marijuana.



The latest in nootropics going well beyond placebos and possibly even impacting Alzheimers



Significant improvements in Google Drive getting able to not choke on PostScript.



Resolution of open source and creative commons issues in scholarly publishing, with embargo times newly a year or less.



Increasing climatic and weather variability, along with the size and frequency of outrageous fires. All clearly caused by human activity. As to the deniers, they better hope and pray that it is human caused, because otherwise it will be a lot harder to fix.



Several major dental breakthroughs.



Imminent elimination of the traditional outrageous federal farm subsidies and price supports dropping marijuana pricing into the 59 cents per pound range. With tax revenue estimates off a tad, but perhaps only by four or five orders of magnitude.
