On the off-chance anyone is interested, I've been writing a series of "Throwback Thursdays" columns on Hackster.io about life--especially technology--back in the day when I was growing up in the 1960s and 1970s:  https://www.hackster.io/clive-max-maxfield/article...

Happy to see another place a "prairie dog" can Pop up and visit.

HS Grad '70, started in electronics at 7, on an HO train set and a lifelong love began.

I have a fair library of projects, most of which would have to be "redeveloped" in modern tech, but I'd be happy to publish. Only thing I'd ask is if any started making money, I'd appreciate a "taste" for having done the initial development. Most of these have functional prototypes, that would go to the new developer. It's a Two-Fer: I would like a young developer to get a toy / example AND it may become dumpster food if I can't.

I also have a project that Is modern tech (STM8S105 based) that Has a Quite Viable market, but I'm too old to pursue it. It's a "super-size" version of something I developed ~15 years ago and sold ~150 units/month for Several years. For this I want a partnership->handoff, but don't know how to find a viable candidate (I've tried).

As always, open to help in both directions. Been a designer 50+, seen a few things.  <<<)))

I know what you mean -- I've got far too many projects "on the go" -- but not enough time to do them all.

By the way, I've posted a load more columns since my original post here: https://www.hackster.io/clive-max-maxfield/article...

Great stuff! I just read the Breadboard piece; that origin story is older than me, but I've used actual wooden breadboards not too long ago, as stable platforms for prototyping with modules and my own PCBs. Reading about the old days always helps with putting things into perspective and getting some new (old) ideas :-) 

Re breadboards -- did you see the "Atwater Kent Model 10 Breadboard Radio" dating from the 1920s in "The Toys That Made Us Tinker" column (https://www.hackster.io/news/the-toys-that-made-us-tinker-44e5b29bb94e) -- I'm still kicking myself that I didn't snap that up when I had the chance (but I just didn't have the money)

No, I'm reading those columns now in chronological (publishing) order, one or two per day as time allows - currently in "The Sounds of Yesteryear (Part 2)". Speaking of which, one of the things I miss most is having a partial recording of some unknown song, or even just a vague memory of it, and having to wait for many years to find a proper version :-) 

Anyway, I looked at the picture of that breadboard radio, wow, that really is beautiful. Frankly though, even if I had that kind of money for that kind of stuff, it shouldn't be in my house, it should be at a museum or somewhere similar where others can appreciate it too.

...well, what do you know - me and my family just watched some silly American bargain hunt show on TV, the hosts were walking into a room packed with old radio and audio gear, and suddenly I see it on some cupboard there - the exact same breadboard radio! Later in the show they even looked at it specifically; It wasn't nearly as clean and polished as the one in your photo, and they didn't mention a price. Still, this incident made me look smart and knowledgeable to my kids :-D

There's a bunch more columns since this original post: https://www.hackster.io/clive-max-maxfield/article...

That's just one more service I offer LOL
