About Me

 

I feel like I'm interested in nearly everything.

In the past I have built boats, made musical instruments, sewn clothes, and written computer programs, and constructed robot disguises from spray painted cardboard.

I'm very interested in the design process, and design as a mental exercise, whether you are making some thing from a piece of bent wire, or writing a massive computer program.
