frequency fight

if you happen to be an electronics student in high school and you can't stand the music they play on the bus, find a schematic for a tunable FM transmitter. then when you get on the bus, plug in your cd player and tune it to the frequency of the station the driver is playing! hopefully your signal will be strong enough to overcome the other one coming in. It great to see the looks on other peoples faces when all of the sudden a bill cosby comedy routine comes in over 50 cent hahaha

note: don't get caught, it's probably illegal.

skateboarder

one who rides a skateboard and has fun doing it. skaters can be any kind of person; punk, prep, jock, criminal, nerd... whatever. skateboarding has room for all kinds of people, and most of us won't discriminate based on anything but your love for skateboarding.

however, since skateboarding has recently rocketed in popularity, it has now become 'cool'. so now, you have to deal with those who are only doing it to be 'cool'. these people are not really skateboarders.

if you are the other kind of skater (the for real one, and you know who you are) i have some words of wisdom for you. when you get kicked out of a skatespot, don't mouth off to the cops no matter how much of an idiot they really are. if skaters want to get accepted in todays world (which seems impossible right now) then we need to act like civilized people. if thats how we act, that's how we'll be treated, which means less getting kicked out of skate spots and more riding of the skateboard.

skateboarders are usually non-competative people, because competition in skateboarding is fairly low-key; its not really taken seriously. ESPN tried to make it into some dramatic rivalry between the top skaters when in fact they are all friends just goofing around. there's no hating.

dnb

short for drum 'n' bass. a style of electronica that incorporates fast tempos (150~180 bpm) syncopated breakbeats, and a heavy bassline. can incorporate various styles of other music; jazz, funk, hip-hop, are the most common. Sometimes called the 'black man's techno'. often times the word is used interchangibly with jungle, but a lot of people think that jungle and dnb are different. sub-genres include ambient dnb, techstep, 2-step, darkstep, etc. a man named roni size, who isn't that popular now, basically started the whole style of music. its cool.

if you want to hear some dnb, check out:

TB-303

one of the most wanted sounds in electronic music, rivaling the tr-808, tr-909 and several moog synths. It was supposed to sound like a real bass guitar, which it totally sucked at. so roland, the manufacturer, stopped making them pretty quickly, so they're kinda rare. after that, house Djs in the 80's started messing around with them (Dj peirre?) and found that you could make some pretty wild sounds with them. 303s eventually came to form their own style of music Acid, where the 303 is in basically every song, or at least another synth trying to sound like a 303.

the 303 is actually a very simple synth, considering it only has one oscillator, only two waveform options (saw, square) and a (wicked) lowpass filter. so basically the filter is the best thing about it. it also has a built in sequencer, which allows you to program your bassline into it, then hit play and tweak the filter while it plays, making a freaking awesome sound! people also put effects on it, like phasor, distortion, and delay.
