Over the past decade I have had the pleasure of being a part of a truly special Charlotte Hoops community. Hornets fans may not have title banners or Hall of Fame numbers but we have a knowledgeable, passionate and (mostly) kind base of fans who have ignored the struggles of the franchise and become the positive community that we are. Today I’m officially moving on from this community.
I’ve been a Hornets fan since 1988 – when I was an eleven year old chubby kid who was inspired to become more athletic and outgoing so that I could be like my heroes Muggsy, Dell, LJ, Kendall and Zo.
It’s been nearly 30 years of highs and lows. Thousands of games, tens of thousands of hours in the arena(s) and in front of the TV, volumes of Street & Smith’s NBA previews, Insider posts and Fake Trade Machine dork simulations.
Most recently it has been time spent with you all either here on the blog or on Twitter discussing, sometimes arguing – often agreeing – on the pluses and minuses of our favorite squad.
Even if we virulently disagreed on a point, you encouraged me to better articulate my stance and sometimes change my view entirely. You often made me laugh. You always made me appreciate your company.
As to why I’ve decided to move on from hardcore fandom, all I can say is that it is time.
Big thanks to each and every one of you who have read my posts and followed my tweets over the years. Your time is greatly appreciated.
Best wishes to you all and may there be some truly great highs in the Hornets’ future. The fans absolutely deserve it.

The Timeless Appeal of Wood Jewelry Boxes
Wood jewelry boxes possess an enduring charm that transcends fleeting trends.
Their natural beauty and warmth make them cherished heirlooms,
passed down through generations. Unlike synthetic materials,
wood exudes a sense of authenticity and craftsmanship, connecting us to nature and
tradition.
Introduction
Importance of Voltage Protection
In today’s technologically driven world, the stability
of electrical supply is paramount. Voltage fluctuations can wreak havoc on sensitive
electronic devices, leading to malfunction, data loss,
or permanent damage. Voltage protection thus becomes an essential safeguard,
ensuring the integrity and longevity of electronic equipment.
Overview of Voltage Protectors
Voltage protectors are devices designed to shield electronic appliances
from irregular voltage levels. They detect aberrant voltages
and either block or divert excess voltage, maintaining a steady flow of electricity.
By doing so, they protect devices from potential harm
caused by voltage anomalies.
Gear machining is indispensable in modern industry, playing a
pivotal role in the production of components for a myriad of machinery and
equipment. From automotive transmissions to aerospace actuators, gears are fundamental in transferring
motion and power with precision. The accuracy and reliability of machined gears directly impact the performance and longevity of these systems, making gear machining a critical process
in manufacturing.
A lab centrifuge is an essential piece of laboratory
equipment that uses centrifugal force to separate components of a mixture based on their densities.
The centrifuge works by spinning samples at high speeds, forcing heavier particles to settle
at the bottom while lighter ones remain at the top. This
process is crucial in various scientific disciplines, including biology,
chemistry, and medicine. By enabling precise separation and analysis of components, centrifuges
facilitate numerous experimental and diagnostic procedures.
