Hi there! I've always been interested in understanding how things work, mainly out of curiosity. For many years, electronic had an aura of mystery to me. Eager to learn a thing or two on the matter, I used to randomly look for informations on the web. It was usually a slow process with a steep learning curve. Then, one happy day, "The Workshop" channel popped in my browser. Needless to say I was hooked right away!
Since then, I have watched countless hours of videos, bought a few basic components, customized a computer to program my own sketches and started experimenting with (very) simple projects. For me, this is (and probably will remain!) a hobby. But what a nice hobby!
Many thanks to Bill and all of you for sharing your knowledge and for making this happening. I'm glad to be part of this community!
