Why does NASA Mission Control look like they're playing Silent Disco?

I'd ask you to explain transistors, but I'm pretty sure I wouldn't understand. I ask way too many questions. After studying electronics in college, I've come to believe that understanding electronics requires you take things as given and go with that rather than asking further questions like, "what does an electron look like?" lol

Any plans on writing books or such in future, to share your wisdom & ample knowledge in a variety your interests or life experiences? Please accept my apology if this is a recurring question you'd rather not answer at this time.

Hi Fran, I'd like to hear you talk about any music you're listening to at the moment. I'd also like to hear you tell us more about any strategies you use to deal with life as a person with autism. These may be too off-topic but I thought I'd ask anyway. :) Thanks so much for sharing all you do. ♡

Keeping important vintage tech alive as rare IC's start to fail would be a great topic. I hope to keep my Fairlight CMI running well into retirement :D

What are your favorite '90s games/series and genres? What were your very first steps in electronics? How was the parts market, community etc. way back when?

Could you comment (in whatever level of detail you feel comfortable with) on your approach to stress and pain management? I think you have mentioned meditation in the past but you might no longer practice. If you do then your perspective would very much be of interest. If not, what approach do you take now - aside from medication ;-)? Thanks for the invite and love everything you do!

Would love to hear more about the video production process, like using camera’s editing making a story

Here are a few (same as Scott - not necessarily most interesting for the algorithm): - What is your preferred microcontroller for any given project (obviously you usually avoid including these in your projects, but if you had to use one do you have a preference)? - Do you have a preferred supplier for generic electronic parts (e.g. resistors, capacitors, inductors, op amps, etc.)? - If you watch any YouTube, do you have specific topics / channels you have been focusing on lately? - Current favorite snack? - Favorite brand for music equipment (e.g. amps, pedals - other than Frantone, microphones)? - Do you use any unique programs for producing your videos / music? - Current hobby to focus on when not working?
