Circuit-Bending Furby: On the topic of EAR's circuit-bent speak-n-spells;
I managed to circuit-bend a Furby before the end of the year; had him
talking in garbled digital noise. Just short joints 8<->9 on the larger
epoxy'd-chip pcb, on the left (furby's) row of solder joints (do it when
he is talking). I installed a switch there so he'll talk trash anytime
now. I should get two more and have all 3 on stage talking into a cheap
overdriven delay pedal and book them as "Spacefurbys 3", or perhaps
"E.A.F." ;-) Good for sampling and fun to do, but not something I'd want
to tour the US-of-A with...
