now S,

accept the calling.  your true geekish calling.  get a sensorslab.

or an sk-1.

i've an extra sk-1 lying about here.
would you like to start with that?

the sensuality of low voltage tickling the balls of your fingers can be
positively exquisite.  open the case.  it struggles briefly under your
screwdriver then *pop*...it's secrets now lie bare.  it has yielded to you.

run your fingers gently across the circuit board, sarah.
it wants to be touched, it wants NEW CONNECTIONS.  it cries out!

touch it.  touch it again.  remember the patterns, remember the path you
take!

galvanic skin response, sarah.  the erotic possibilities of a bitstream
pulsing its way across a rippling pond of silvery traces on a green board, a
green which is dark as deep, still water, as dark as a secret.

locate a diode, where sensation can suddenly stop. . .  .    .     .
.




..then start again.

another circuit closes under your gentle caress.  innovation without
conscious thought.  a new place, invented by you and the sk-1.  symbiots.
unique to you both, this new place.

it cannot be shared.  yet.

and the gentle rhythms begin anew, your flesh registering the call of
electrons twittering like small birds nestling in the boughs of a tree.
calling to you.  begging for an LED, or a switch, a capacitor or possibly
even a thumbtack brought out to the sleek grey surface of the instrument.

and then, then it is time to mount the switches, standing proud off the
control panel.  or the jacks, so inviting.  a thumbtack head, placed
just-so, demanding to be touched, again again again and again!

yes, pierce the plastic sarah! introduce new FORM into the perfection of
this mass produced device.  you give it LIFE, sarah.  you make it YOURS,
sarah.  circuitbending sarah.  circuitbending.  join us.
joinnnn usssssss.....

:D
