Hey there .....

I'm looking for advice from people here on how to get started actually DOING
something with electronics. I've read a few books and have a pretty good 
understanding of what various components (discrete and within ICs) do and how
they work. But I'm kind of at a loss as to what to do now. Picking up random
schematics, I can get the general jist of what's going on, but wouldn't be
able to sit down and design a circuit for the life of me. All real-world 
projects have resistors and capacitors flying all over the place in seemingly
random places.  Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

So, if anyone has any good advice, I'd appreciate getting it. Things I'm 
looking for include how to pick and build power supplies for circuits, how to
figure out resistor placement, etc etc... just about everything and anything.

Thanks...

--- Sean
