Haha.
Well, that's what I get for not being in the know.
I'll have to stand in the corner with my Thingamagoop and pretend I'm with the "in" crowd.
*me and my Thingamagoop just sitting idle in the corner pretending we're cool...
... That's kinda hard to do when this thing makes the most irritating sounds.

What a piece of rubbish!!
They've ripped off my 'Thingamajig' design and reduced it to a freakin' toy!!
Hope they don't get wind of my 'Doohickey' upgrade to the 'Thingamajig'...... that'll really **** me off!!

I built one of those back in '64, sonny boy. A variable frequency audio oscillator. A couple of transistors, a few resistors and caps, a pot and a small speaker scavenged from a pocket radio, jammed into a small project box. We called it an "Etch", and it had a high irritation and, "what the hell was THAT?" factor.
We were easily excitable back then...

Yeah, I've built a few things like that several decades ago too, but never incorporated a photo sensor and a light source for feedback...
Sonny boy? Well, OK, I'm only a bit past the half century mark, but I still refuse to act my age!
