How to build a record vacuum wand that can be used as a hand held device.

This is the description of a record cleaning machine I built. It uses an industrial wet vacuum cleaner with 1000W to suck the cleaning fluid from the record. The fluid is applied by swinging a tube over the record and pumping with a manual pump. The platter is rotated manually and a normal paint brush can be used to get the dirt out of the grooves. I use a professional brush from a Moth record cleaning machine. After that the sucking tube is swinged onto the record (please don't forget to glue the velvet onto the tube, or the first record you cleaned is cleaned to death) and the vacuum cleaner is switched on. One or two spins should be enough to suck all the fluid with the dirt away.

Build your own high quality, easy to use record cleaner. This design can be built for less than $50 and will remove at least as much grunge as the expensive VPI record cleaners.

Captionator.js is a JavaScript polyfill designed to provide support for the <track> element and TextTrack javascript API. It currently supports subtitles in SUB, SRT, Youtube's SBV, WebVTT, and WebVTT with Google's proposed timestamp syntax. It will soon support LRC, DFXP/TTML and the WebVTT v2 proposed features.

Like most polyfills, it's intended to be a drop-in addition to your existing HTML5 video (and/or custom player) and provides a JavaScript API in line with the WHATWG's specification. This makes it easy to write your own interface for allowing the user to select assistive or media enhancement tracks, and when browsers land support for the feature, it'll move out of the way and let the browser take over (and you won't have to change a line of code!)

The devices are called USB-DACs (pronounced "dacks")—digital-to-analog converters with a USB input and standard stereo outputs. Connect your laptop, using one of its USB ports, to the DAC's input. Run a stereo pair of standard cables from the DAC's outputs to your receiver or amp. And your streamed music (from iTunes or some other music-server software) will come wafting out of your home stereo system's speakers. You can do this already using various cables and converters. But here's the new thing: Using these DACs, the music sounds better than you've ever heard computer-downloaded music sounding.
