Happy Birthday to me, Happy Birthday to me.............
It's been three months since I started using Radio Userland. Thanks to all 5548 of you who have drifted by. A special thanks to the 2 or 3 people who come back for more punishment once in a while.
Thanks to all the other bloggers who have linked to me and allowed me to steal their stuff with no whining whatsoever.
Thanks to Al Gore for inventing the Internet!
My first hobby, (one of many, many, others) starting in the early 60's was Amateur Radio. Many years ago the FCC abandoned us because we were a pain in the ass and decided to let us police ourselves. It was a disaster as I and many others predicted, and now the once proud hobby is a wasteland of idiots who wouldn't know a dot from a dash or a resistor from a diode if it hit them in the face.
So here I am sending my recyclable electrons thru the phone lines instead of out into the ether.
Below is my very first post on Userland. It's still true especially the highlighted parts.
