When I was a little kid I used to be into electronics. My parents bought me all kinds of electronic kits from Etco and other places, 200-in-1 project kits, etc. I learned how to make radios, generators, Jacob's ladders, and Lizzie's. (Remove the coil from old TV sets, replace them with another one with the vertical and horizontal connected to the left and right channels of a Stereo for cool patters that danced to music. Fun!

I also learned how to generate huge amounts of super wide band static. I had a CB Antenna on the roof, and a few simple wire antennas in the back yard. I would wait until my neighbour turned on his AM radio or TV, and when he turned up the sound, I would turn on my generator and destroy whatever he was listening to, just to hear him yell and get all pissed off.

It was great.

I was 10. I smelled like Ozone.
