MIDI controlled Beer Bottle Organ

Lienie Bbo The cart version was designed for versatility of use after meeting with Cory Dirksen GM of the Windy City Thunderbolts and it was styled to fit the Leinenkugel backwoods style. “The Bottle Organ has been a big hit at the ballpark” said Misch. “It’s incredible how good a bunch of bottles sound when they get done with them”. “The Bottle Organ cart concept allows the organ to be used in any area of the park during pre-game and attracts people to the Leinie Lodge through out out the game.

For some reason I’m always compelled to give them away as gifts. Link.

With a blinding 2bps speed, the class sat patiently as the packet was received in roughly 140 seconds. [via] Link.

It’s my goal to rack mount ever nintendo console made. I used a Game Genie to interface with the main board on the Nintendo. Thoes extra IDE cables are good for something. Link.
