Welcome to Motherboard

Motherboard is a celebration of the diversity and eclecticism of the culture that surrounds technology. Rather than squinting at technology through the lens of gizmos and gadgetry, Motherboard explores the ways it influences and affects music, art, design, film, gaming, sports, issues surrounding the environment, and everything else we find important.

So consider the floor open for group participation. It's simple: Get involved in an existing discussion, post your own related videos, write posts, comment, anything… you're now part of the Motherboard.

The FAA recently opened up a new class of license for sport pilots. It basically means that with 10 hours training, you can fly specific “experimental” air craft in daylight almost anywhere, as long as you’re below 10,000 feet.

    Every day I see articles in the news about people dying in air disasters... and they are always little single-engine planes and EAA-type dudes who need new hobbies landing on freeways or in baseball diamonds. Good population control or reckless nerds? You make the call.
