circuit bent by fastmatt - blog

Here’s my first step into the blogosphere.
Greetings!

Matt Burriola. Married, one kid, just your average nice guy. Those who know me would describe me as quiet, steady, stoic, passionate (in a very controlled sort of way), perfectionistic, generous, stubborn, slightly funny. While not hammering out corporate software for Solaris UNIX servers and Windows CE handhelds, I can be found at home. Generally hanging out with my family, but when time permits, I’ll be tinkering with my Macintoshes, circuit bending, or buying/selling on eBay.

My interests are varied, and tend to come and go in 6-year cycles.
- Computers - well this habit always stays around.
- Tinkering - with just about anything. These days, it’s speak & spells.
- Volkswagens - used to have a 1967 VW Bug but sold it this year.
- eBay - this is where my play money comes from.
- Carputers (car-based computers). I’ve got a Mac Mini in the glove box of my Mazda 3.
- Music (I play saxophone, but rarely these days)
- RC Sailplanes (gliders). Haven’t done this in a few years.

I’m probably one of the last 300 internet citizens to create a blog, but better late then never.

My purpose here is to share what I’m up to, what I’m thinking/looking at, random cool things I’ve found, new things I’ve created/for sale, stuff like that.
I might also be sharing a few schematics or diagrams of circuit bending, tips, tricks, etc.
If you’ve read all this then I’m honored - thanks for your time.
