Thanks for sharing this. I grew up a few miles away from the Sikorsky plant in Stratford, CT. and as a kid remember seeing on a couple of occasions some of the experimental helicopters flying overhead. A lot of my friends parents worked at

I knew about the story of Phil Katz having read this article before and was also a user back in the day, but just recently watched the movie 'Leaving Las Vegas'. Reading the PK article again in the link reminded me so much about t

Ok, thanks. I set what I thought was a username during signup but looks like that was just the name. I see now there's a second step going to https://spacehey.com/settings and the username URL is working for me.

One aspect of Eddie's playing that rarely gets mentioned was his rhythm and chord playing. His chordal phrasings and how he could make a song sound huge for just a single guitarist was amazing. AND The first few early albums were mixed

Looks great man. Once you have your main board set (like you do), don't forget to think outside the board you've built to add things like a wah and volume pedal. For me these have both been staples of my rig that sit outside the &

First off, I'm so sorry to hear that you've been diagnosed with this condition. I haven't read through any of the replies to your question aside from a quick read through, so I'm sorry if any of my advice is redundant, h

I was at an Air Show at the old Willow Grove NAS in Pennsylvania when I was a kid and there was a Navy S3 Viking Jet set as a ground display. They were allowing people time where you could get into the cockpit. A 7 year old kid was in one o
