n00b – TestBlog

Historical record

It was nearly a decade ago when I first watched Pure Pwnage [1]. Weird because in today’s planning meeting I was reaching for a jokey reference during a conversation about how a co-worker’s gamer skills are now as to compared with his skills in the Atari 2600 era. I asked if he had uber micro these days. And then I remembered where I heard that. And then I had to see if that was still around. And then I shared links.

Reminiscing on the intertubes. pwning n00bs for nearly a decade. Wow.

And then, gratuitously: BOOM! HEADSHOT!

I see what you tried to do there, business person.

Ham I Am

As of 20090731, I am licensed to transmit as KD0INM by the FCC. I’m completely stoked and will be updating this space with my adventures. Yay me!

So far, then, other than the license I have acquired a used and ever so slightly abused Kenwood TS 530-S. I haven’t yet put it on the air because I haven’t yet put together an antenna or found an antenna tuner. The $4 Special is a refreshing article after all the crazy/scary reading I’ve been doing lately about flying an antenna. I may be giving this a shot next weekend…especially if I can find a decent tuner to interface with my rig. I need more “just do it” and a lot less “ZOMG Horrible!” if I’m ever going to have the confidence to get on the air.
