| Your personal background. |
| I am 43 years old. Married to an Amazing, beautiful, athletic female. Professional Life: Worked as a mechanic on a small farm, assembler at a microwave component firm, then tech, then design engineer (designed a few circulaters, an isolator and assisted on a couple of ferrorotational polarizors). Became a teacher ( of light obital mechanics and electronics), a millwright, then a weldor/fabricator. After that, a boat mechanic, a repairman of stat-cameras and processors, back to tech at an electronics manufacturer, then engineer for the last 10 years. Much of my days are spent pondering the age old question of “What could possibly go wrong?�. I enjoy a challenge, so I jump at the chance to take on the “impossible� projects that others consider impossible. I love analog design and most projects with magnetics, pneumatics, VHDL, or with anything uncommon. I abhor user interface design. Personal Life: I enjoy many things that I am poor at like barefoot running, math, cooking, mandarin, crabbing, photography, rappeling from bridges (rare), motorcycling (I crash), skiing (same). I also enjoy a few things that I`m good at like pistol shooting, auto/motorcycle diagnostics and eating what I cook. I love old test equipment, Tesla coils and any good discharge from a capacitor bank. |
| Your opinions about Einstein@Home |
| I run Einstein@home to give my computer something interesting to do. I heard about gravity-waves back in highschool (circa 1980) but never thought much of them. Can`t think of any practical, terrestrial applications off the top of my head but it`s still pretty cool. |
