It's a song from Rush. My Signature also states: I am not the "Analog kid" I am the "Digital Man". Both Digital Man & Analog Kid are songs from the album "Signals" I thought it fit in well with the whole vaping theme.

And not to forget...Vapor Trails!!

I think I'll listen to some Rush now.

Oh, and my user name is Texas Guitar...shortened to txgtr, because well, I'm in Texas and I think I can play guitar.

Steam Turbine is a device that extracts thermal energy from pressurized steam and uses it to do mechanical work on a rotating output shaft. Its modern manifestation was invented by Sir Charles Parsons in 1884.[1]
Because the turbine generates rotary motion, it is particularly suited to be used to drive an electrical generator – about 90% of all electricity generation in the United States (1996) is by use of steam turbines.[2] The steam turbine is a form of heat engine that derives much of its improvement in thermodynamic efficiency through the use of multiple stages in the expansion of the steam, which results in a closer approach to the most efficient reversible process.

When I first got in to paintball (15 years ago) and joined a team that was based all over the U.S., we had a rule. You did not pick your own nickname. Back then my spelling was really, really bad (much worse then it is today). One of my teammates just said one day that I was the misspelled master, and it has stuck with me. Granted i took it and played with the letter combo to make it look right and fit the name. License plate, Facebook fanpage, YouTube channel, everything for me is Mispeld.

Back in about 1992, I was starting up a Buliten board (pre-cursor to widespread internet, kinda like a web site, some of you remember them). Anyway, a buddy and I were sitting at the computer (yes I know how geeky that is) and building my board - I couldn't come up with a good name. He suggested "Chakara's Realm". I have no idea what Chakara is, but it has stuck....

-Chak

PS: That board was the first place in Brevard County, FL that offered free internet e-mail :)
