The Fat Man and Circuit Girl Cast 9<\/a> from Jeri Ellsworth<\/a> on Vimeo<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I don’t know why it took so long, but recently someone turned me onto The Fat Man and Circuit Girl<\/a> show, which has been airing on the net for almost six months now.\u00a0 This is definitely the quirkiest and most entertaining electronics themed webcast I have ever seen.\u00a0 The episode above includes an awesome segment about making a floppy drive reverb machine<\/a> and thoughts on brewing coffee with PID, which reminded me of some other projects<\/a> I have worked on…<\/p>\n

The Fat Man and Circuit Girl are:<\/p>\n

George Sanger<\/a> – (fatman.com<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Musician, artist, composer of music for several video games, most notably Maniac Mansion<\/a> on the NES<\/a> and Wing Commander<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Jeri Ellsworth<\/a> – (blog<\/a>, twitter<\/a>, flickr<\/a>, vimeo<\/a>, youtube<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Self taught electrical engineer.\u00a0 Designer of the C64 DTV<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I had a chance to meet George and Jeri at NOTACON<\/a> in Cleveland this month.\u00a0 They are as entertaining in person as they are on video!\u00a0 Jeri told me that she will be at the Maker Faire<\/a> in San Mateo this year, showing off her Easy-Bake Chip Lab<\/a>.\u00a0 I am really looking forward to seeing it!<\/p>\n

They have a website for the show at fatmanandcircuitgirl.com<\/a>.\u00a0 You can also follow @fmandcg<\/a> on twitter.<\/p>\n

Who needs television when you can stream a show like this?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
