About.....

Well, it's 2010 and I figure it's about time I started a blog online. I don't know what's so special about blogging - just a new word for something that's been around since we were able to go online with 300baud modems. Probably with all the fancy web 2.0 features, it makes this much easier to blog these days. I guess I'm showing my age here, but what the hell.

I wanted a place to post my favorite things about hacking, some that I like to build and what others have built. I would have to say that I started hacking ever since I got my first electronic experimenters kit from Heathkit in 1972, I was 10 and this was a birthday present from my older brother who was still in the Air Force at the time. I wish I could remember the name of it - l don't have it any longer and I'm hoping I can find it on Ebay one day. I thought it was one of the best gifts I ever had.

There have been many things that I hacked on over the decades where I never had the brains to have a camera nearby - I was always too preoccupied with building the hack. Plus all my design notes from over the years have been lost in the trash, from moving several times. So all I have left is my memories from back then to write down again. So here we go......
