Where To Start In DIY Electronics? 301

I would preferably like to start with some form of practical guide rather than learning the theory first, but where I would find such a walkthrough eludes me."

Hey everybody! It's been a while since I last posted but better late than never right? :)

If I had mod points I would either mod this as "Funny" or "Insighful".

I love both shows and this was one of the funniest posts I have read on here so far.

So I wanted to create a place for Slashdot Christians to come meet o
