[sdiy] Happy 30th birthday Synth-DIY

[Eric Brombaugh]

Wow, what a trip down memory lane that is. Very interesting to see us 
ranked like that - so many familiar names, some of whom we'll not hear 
from again, some who we can hope to, some who've never stopped. I joined 
back in 2006 or so, so nearly 20 of the 30 years, back before the big 
boom in modular synths hit and everything exploded. A lot has changed... 
a lot hasn't
