Here are links to a couple more articles on the Internet. These two are courtesy of the CMP publications EE Times Europe and Planet Analog.
The first is more for the young hams out there, the ones that are still interested in making a living in electronics. “EE Times updates list of emerging startups” list the top 60 electronics startups. Startups are kind of boom and bust, but if you can take a flyer by working for one of these companies, you might just be able to make a lot of money. It will certainly be an interesting experience, at any rate.
The second article, Choosing and using bypass capacitors, is a tutorial on the subject. Written by a couple of engineers from Intersil, a company known for its prowess in analog electronics, this looks like a great introduction to the subject. Its knowledge about stuff like this that will really help you make practical circuits work.

I really enjoyed the link to the article on bypass capacitors. Even social studies guys like to read about the nuts and bolts of electronics. Keep ’em coming.
By the way, I had my GOTA station call “CQ GOTA” for a while. Don’t know if it helped, but I certainly couldn’t tell that it hurt. ;)
