| Introduction | I'm Really Good At Math, woodturning (lathe work), making computers dance, and navigating through San Francisco sans maps. Well, maybe not so much of the latter anymore. I also have an extremely well-behaved Border Collie who follows orders better than most dogs - I won't abide by ill-behaved dogs. I like making art, doing electrical work and carpentry, and fixing things. I excel at understanding mechanical things. I can generally make anything work without reading the fine manual. However, if I do run into a rough spot, I will RTFM – that's what it's there for. |
| Interests | Border Collies, Photography, You |

I've been going to more live music events as of late, and buying CDs there.
