Equipment for generating genlock signals and test patterns is a crucial part of a television operation, and was especially so in the days of analog television. This video is a demonstration of two multi-function frames made in Canada by Leitch Video in the mid-1990s, and the variety of cards therein.

Today's chilled out kit build is a very common fun circuit in an uncommon but still fun configuration.

Based on some past comments, I'm trying something different with the audio in this one. Let me know what you think.

Welcome to Day 19 of the 2025 Jazz Advent Calendar. Today, I am playing "O Come, All Ye Faithful" (Adeste Fideles). This is a hymn that calls people to come together and bear witness.

In these difficult times, keeping faith in humanity requires us to look directly at suffering, not away from it.

I am dedicating Day 19 to the Hind Rajab Foundation. This organization calls on all of us to be faithful to the principles of justice. They are steadfastly bearing witness to the crimes committed by Israel in Palestine, documenting every violation to ensure that the truth is not buried. They are fighting to restore faith in international law by demanding accountability.

Please help them continue this sacred work of justice by donating below.

See you tomorrow for Day 20.

This is a song I wrote in the summer of 2008, while sitting on the hood of my black '98 Ford Tempo in my driveway in the middle of nowhere on Hwy 3a, waiting for people to come up to my place for a fire and a party, after a Cracker Cats show at the Sirdar Pub.

Filmed in November 2019 in our practice room, in the depths of Klanggerüst Erfurt.
