[sdiy] May run class again this Spring

[Matt Simpson]

having graduated from the school in question
with a computer engineering degree,
let me assure folks that the focus in the school
IS IN FACT primarily on digital design

aaron's class is a diamond in the rough; the only
class that actually shows why a mF is used
when a 1F capacitor would be ridiculous, and other
analog truths.

What is music?
Music is a rich, hyper-dimensional language allowing for high
bandwidth communication of highly abstract concepts and images. Music
is the name for the interaction of the vibrations in the physical
world with the metaphysical emotional center of the human soul. Music
is an expression of consciousness, a path, a doorway.
