From Anywhere

All my work can be done from anywhere in the world with an internet connection.

Equipped with high-powered home and travel gear for hard work in my “dojo” or full-fledged IT Ninja work from my laptop (both Mac and PC).

Video Games!

 

Since the early 90’s (think Atari and NES) I’ve been button-smashing and a keyboard commando.

My favorite types of games are Simulation games. Minecraft, too (just celebrated my 11th year of playing).

I’ve been known to stream a couple of times a month and have a YouTube channel, too.

MAKING THINGS and D.I.Y.

 

Also… unmaking things. Breaking stuff is fun!

I own a 3D Printer, Soldering Iron, 3 Raspberry Pi(so far…), tons of arduino boards, breadboards, wires, buttons, switches, motors and motor controllers.

One day I’ll share some of my monstrosities publicly online, but… maybe tomorrow… 😛

HISTORY and Religion

 

When I geek out, I either watch or read about history, religion, and other socio-economic factors that shaped our world

I also love non-fiction and biographical novels/audio books
