My New Circuit-Bent Speak & Read

This is my new circuit-bent speak & read. For those unfamiliar with this kind of thing, there are people who open up old Gameboy or Speak & Spell equipment and modify it to play music or make unusual sounds. It's a pretty awesome toy.

I bought it at a store here in San Francisco called Robot Speak that sells all kinds of computerized music equipment. The video was recorded simultaneously with separate tracks. The audio came from my headset while the video came from my Nexus One.

Did it break or turn off at the end?

@MrChronos1 It just turned off. Silly machine. :)

I know where you're coming from with that one..... lmfao .... Just to say - I've watched quite a few of your videos on 3D Max. You have a natural talent for the tutorials you have created. Give yourself a bloody big pat on the back mate :)

@wildaboutart1 Thanks much, Wild. I know this video isn't really a big hit with most people, so I won't do too many clips of my foray into music and electronics. :)

@RossHildick3d: Your call.

@XTC: It's true. Fudged a RAID-0 setup and it ate my backup drive.

@Budhabe, Danny3man: I may do more of these in the future but nothing planned at the moment. One thing I noticed is that I have maybe 50 subscribers on YT and 2,000 video views per day on almost 80 videos. The website gets 1,500 viewers per day on just 10 articles, which means I should probably start putting more time toward those.
