Fascinating!

Although I've never been a "hobbyshop engineer" or much of a "hardware guy" at all, I still found the above video absolutely fascinating. At least one of my some-time commenters* would probably consider it downright pornographic**. But the classy kind of porn, mind you, with good lighting and jazz music.

*If you and I have never spent considerable time discussing, with outrageous French accents, how zee transisteur is like zee woman, I'm not talking about you.

**Go ahead and click. It's as safe-for-work as safe-for-work gets. Apart from the French interstitials.

Update: Er, my bad -- tip o' the hat to Instapundit.

Update 2: I showed it to my wife, and then had to run off and take care of the wee one. She sat there and watched all 17 minutes of it, totally engrossed. I love that woman!
