What if I just made Barkley more like Captain Holt

[wherevenusholdssomeofficespace]

I think the Dwampyverse on some level is kind of a family affair. It's so cute how much the creators families grew into it.

Like on a purely in universe standpoint we have all the characters who are named for IRL family members of Dan and Swampy. Isabella is named for Dan's older daughter, Lil' Sparks Melissa, Melissa Chase (and probably Tia Meli) are named for his younger daughter Melissa. Django and Jenny Brown are named for Swampy's kids (their last name Brown could have come from Swampy's grandfather). Linda and Tiana are named after Dan's sisters. Ferb is named after a friend of Dan and Swampy's and based off of Swampy's uncle. Adyson Sweetwater is based on Swampy's granddaughter. Ferb and Lawrence being British comes from the time Swampy spent in England. The fact Phineas and Ferb are step siblings also comes from Swampy's own childhood. The Grant-Gomez family is inspired by Dan and his wife and being a half-Venezuelan family. The large age gap in the Grant Gomez family (and likely between Jeremy and Suzy) is due to Dan's own large age gap with his sister. The premise of enjoying summer vacation came from his mom. Perry's double life is inspired by a cat Dan had.

But then out of universe, their IRL family is involved too. Django has voiced Balthazar Horowitz, some of Ferb's cousins, and Chad Van Coff among other minor characters. Meli voices Gretel of course, and Alex/Isa Povenmire sings "I'm the Bomb" along with doing temp voices. Not to mention Olivia Olson, daughter of Phineas and Ferb writer and Songwriter Martin Olson voiced Vanessa, sang a lot of other songs for the show, and Olivia is now writing for the Phineas and Ferb revival, so that's basically come full circle.

This was sort of inspired by Gretel, voiced by Meli Povenmire, quoting a memed Doofensmirtz line, who is voiced by her father Dan Povenmire. I don't think she was even born when Phineas and Ferb first came out. And now she and her sister are now teenagers, which Olivia was when she first got involved on Phineas and Ferb. And now Olivia's writing. That's kind of crazy.

setting all the valid reasons aside, the biggest reason why i loathe tiktok is that compared to the volume level of literally everything else, every single tiktok i've ever attempted to watch has been 500% louder.

like, jumpscare, hurts my ears loud if i got the volume up to begin with. they're so fucking loud a part of me gets why apparently people watch tiktoks on speaker in public. i wouldn't want that kind of noise beamed directly into my ears, either.

(i don't want that kind of noise blasted into my ears from tinny phone speakers either. or any other unnecessary noise. be courteous to others in public.)

Pitt/Hamilton production embedded within the show will be a first for F1 Domenicali | 2023 F1 season

Formula 1 CEO Stefano Domenicali says a Hollywood movie production crew will begin shooting an F1-based film “very soon”. A spokesperson for the Silverstone circuit confirmed to RaceFans it is among the venues where filming will take place. Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton is consulting on the new movie project, directed by Top Gun: Maverick director Joe Kosinski and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer. Actor Brad Pitt will star in the film, acting as the main character. The untitled project will be the first Hollywood-produced movie around the world championship since 2013’s Rush, which focused on the 1976 title battle between James Hunt and Niki Lauda. The upcoming film will centre around an original story based in the world of modern Formula 1, rather than fictionalised retelling of a real-life F1 story. Speaking at a recent investors’ call, Domenicali said that the movie project demonstrated F1’s desire to attract a media audience beyond ‘Drive to Survive’, its popular Netflix documentary series. “[It’s] another way to show what we want to do, something different,” said Domenicali. “When we started the collaboration with Netflix, the community said ‘what’s going on? This is not our place to be’. And now we understand the power of it. “We added the very strong presence with social media, making sure that all our drivers and teams are very active in promoting the sport. And that’s another tool with the movie they’re going to be produced. We’re going to start the shooting in Silverstone very soon. “It will be the first movie where basically they will be within the show, within the racing event. It will be quite invasive. In terms of production it’s something that we need to control in a way, but it will be another way of showing that Formula 1 never stops.” Full details of exactly how the production will be embedded within Formula 1 events have yet to be announced. It will likely draw comparisons to John Frankenheimer’s 1966 film ‘Grand Prix’, some of which was shot at races that year. Frankenheimer captured footage was from live Formula 1 sessions. Some cars were fitted with early examples of onboard cameras during practice sessions to capture additional material.

Night Vision on the Go: FPGA Technology in Wearable Military Cameras

In the rapidly advancing field of military technology, every detail matters—every ounce and millimeter. A leading aerospace company recently confronted this challenge while developing a state-of-the-art wearable night vision camera tailored for military operations.

Facing stringent demands for size, weight, power consumption, and performance, the company sought a reliable partner with specialized expertise. Enter Voler Systems, renowned for its pioneering work in FPGA design, electronic design, wearables, and firmware. Together, they embarked on this ambitious project, overcoming significant hurdles to achieve their goals.

Mastering Compact Design with Advanced Functionality

Designing a wearable night vision camera is a complex task, particularly when the device must be lightweight, compact, and power-efficient while meeting stringent military standards. The camera needed to integrate two distinct imaging sources—an infrared camera and a low-light camera—to provide superior night vision in challenging environments.

The integration of these sources presented a significant challenge. The camera had to process and synchronize high-speed signals from both cameras despite their differing resolutions. This required an advanced FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) design capable of managing high-speed parallel processing and video synchronization within the compact confines of a wearable device.

Leveraging Voler Systems' Expertise

To address these challenges, the aerospace company partnered with Voler Systems, leveraging their extensive experience in wearable electronic design, sensor technology, and FPGA development. Voler Systems’ engineers took a meticulous approach, creating an FPGA board design based on the client’s high-level specifications. Ensuring the camera's ability to process and synchronize high-speed video signals was crucial.

In addition to FPGA design, Voler Systems developed the firmware necessary for board functionality testing, enabling the client to finalize their firmware development. The team collaborated closely with mechanical design experts to ensure the device met all electrical, mechanical, and environmental requirements. They ensured the camera was functional, durable, and reliable under the demanding conditions typical of military operations.

Investing in Advanced Military Wearable Technology

The wearable night vision camera met all size, weight, and power requirements while providing the processing power needed to merge high-speed video signals. The integrated approach to electrical and mechanical design facilitated effective thermal management, allowing the device to endure temperature extremes encountered in military settings.

Ultimately, the device surpassed all military-grade environmental and electrical specifications, marking a significant leap forward in military wearable technology. This success highlights Voler Systems' capability to innovate and deliver cutting-edge solutions for the most challenging projects.

Expanding the Frontiers of Innovation

The achievement of this wearable night vision camera motivates Voler Systems to continue pushing the boundaries of FPGA design. We are committed to tackling the toughest challenges and transforming visionary concepts into impactful, real-world technologies.
