Written while on a cross-country flight, "The Measurement Blues" touches on some of the reasons we get the blues as electrical engineers: equipment gone, equipment too slow, equipment out of calibration, and of course, Windows crashing during a test. That's about all I could get into a five-minute song, but there's more. Buggy software and instrument drivers, EMI problems, noise, and incomplete documentation are a few other reasons to get the blues.

"The Measurement Blues" was recorded on April 27, 2006, at Melville Park Studio, Boston, MA.
| Keeping the blues in tune requires a good ear, but sometimes you need some help. The Intellitouch guitar tuner is cool when you have to tune in a noisy place and can't hear your strings. I wrote an article about how it works. After all, the tuner is a measurement and calibration instrument for a musical instrument. |
