This is the real story. That's absolutely nuts, and yet I know that someone is going to chime in to say that it's not a living wage in Silicon Valley. Which is also nuts. I live elsewhere, make less than that in my job, and s

How many things were invented or financed because someone wanted to get rich? What happens to those types of things when it's impossible to get rich? The answer is they don't happen here, they'll happen somewhere else. They

Syncing carbs is an art. This is pretty interest to see how to inject a bit of science into it. When syncing the dual SU carbs on my MG, the "traditional" way is to take a length of tube, remove the air cleaners, fire up the engi

I love FT8, but I think Cliff would probably find it a bit boring. It's too automated, it's basically computers talking to each other. To an introvert like myself, it's cool. I love seeing how far I can get (with my 40m Z-d
