Pretty Soon, You Can 3D Print Your Own Guitar
Are you one of those who get mesmerized by an awesome-looking guitar in the hands of a talented musician? I sure am, and I cannot count the times that I have (almost) drooled over a really good guitar. Not that I can really play well, but a beautiful guitar (that sounds good as well) is [...]
Church of Kopimism Weds First Couple
Remember Kopimism, the first religion in the world which bases its tenets on file-sharing?
