Videos!!!!!

Well, not just videos.  This whole project was started as a way to make electronics accessible to others.  When i would teach classes and cover all the things it would take to "develop a simple game" students would almost always feel overwhelmed.  So this is a big leap into trying something new and always available to anyone looking for it.  With the help of my college friend Roger we have now put up several recordings, publicly available as a electronics primer.  This will lead into the larger builds and the madness of how I see the world.


For example: a button as understood by anyone passing by might be an encased plastic contact that happens to make a clicking sound when pressed. unknown to them they are engaging into the management of conductive surfaces.  And that's where we engage the viewer and promote a curiosity about what around them can be made into an improvised button..  It's this key component that will feed into the creative part of what ControlOrSense was inspired by at the beginning.  Let the fun begin!!!!

Now I know I'll make mistakes and I do my best to only convey info learned from experimenting, but if I don't share, then am I really pulling my weight?  I think not. We learn from failing and through just crazy obsessive drive we get past the unknown.  We grow and learn.  This is what I want the world to be.  So do feel free to pitch in and be part of this chaos.
