Gadgets

 I’ll introduce the various gadgets I’ve acquired so far and explain how to get the most out of them.

 I want to live surrounded by my favorite gadgets… It’s fun to use them as-is, but it’s also fun to put a little extra effort into them—and I think that’s how you really master them. If you go the extra mile, you can even “hack” them—and even though it’s not the intended use, you end up thinking, “Actually, this isn’t so bad, is it?”For example, the Fosi Audio VOL20 is a Bluetooth-connected jog dial used to adjust volume. But as an old-timer, I control the volume directly via Babyface pro fs, so I don’t necessarily need that function. That’s why I’ve hacked this volume control and repurposed it for tuning the frequency on SDR. That’s the kind of thing I want to do—mastering all kinds of gadgets like this!!
