Zez Retro | Zezcast #5 - Porkchop Express from MisterAddons @ZezRetro | Uploaded January 2022 | Updated October 2024, 17 hours ago.
Recently I was lucky enough to have time to talk to Porkchop Express from MisterAddons. Pork is one of the most active sellers of units and... addons for the MiSTer FPGA project. His store goes far beyond just reselling parts, he has also designed his own MiSTer cases using thermal data as well as creating a whole JAMMA interface board called the Mistercade.
3:30 Keeping DE-10 Nano's in stock
06:00 What is the future of FPGAs?
16:30 Growing Up
26:20 First taste of FPGAs in college
39:00 Do you still need a college degree in 2022?
51:00 The origins of MisterAddons
1:04:00 Dealing with Amazon
1:12:00 Positivity in building the community
Believe it or not but Porkchop Express isn't his birth name, rather just a way of keeping business and personal lives separate. We also did the recording without video because I couldn't work out how to setup the animated vlogger version of Kurt Russell in time.
We do get into a bit of Pork's origin story, his education and first steps into electrical engineering. In the second half we talk more about the MisterAddons project.

The waveform visualization is thanks to a tool called "seewav". It's a small command line tool which you provide a WAV file and it outputs a video of the waveform. I then overlayed this in my editing software.
