[sdiy] "Reports of DIY's death are greatly exaggerated"

[Paul Maddox]

Paul,

> A side question: what is DIY in people's minds?  How much of "it" must you
do for it to be done by you?  And how much wood can a... oh, nevermind.
Myself, I wouldn't consider MOTM kits to be DIY, but they approach it.
Partial Blacet kits edge closer... something like Oakley would be.
>

for me, DIY is just that did it myself, ie, design/build..
I like a lot of the kits, and beleive me if the MOTM stuff was more
affordable I would be buying a pile of that, but for myself, I can build a
two osc monosynth for almost the cost of two of Paul's ultra VCOs..

> At any rate, I don't think that DIY is completely dead.

I agree, its not dead, its more of a sort of 'back room thing' now than it
was in the 70's..

> I don't understand the massive attraction to Nintendo.  I mean, how the
hell does one type in "whack the troll with the mace" on one of those little
controllers...?  Being all of 26, I guess that makes me a cranky young fart.
:)

Hey, I have a PSX2 and I love the games (wipeout fusion, tekken tag) and Im
32, but maybe thats my mid-life crises showing?

Paul
