Other Thum Blogs
Ken Rushton, a Music Brain and ThumClub member, is blogging about the Thummer, in hiw Music Science Guy blog. He can't wait to get a Thummer-brand jammer, so he's building his own: the ZipEx jammer.
"Thummer-brand jammer?" Jammer is the generic name of any electronic musical instrument that combines a 2D button-field with the Wicki note-layout, whereas Thummer(tm) is the trademarked name of Thumtronics' version thereof. So, anyone can call their instrument a jammer, the way anyone can call their instrument a piano or a guitar -- but only Thumtronics can call their jammer a Thummer.

Thanks for the mention! Just one suggestion Jim - I don't see a mention of your blog on the Thumtronics web site, so perhaps a link would be cool, or even a mention in the forum would be helpful in directing people to this interesting blog.
