About the author

Like the description says, at my core, I'm a scientist and engineer.  I came from humble beginnings on a 486DX2 Packard Hell playing doom2 on IPX to in a small time retail shop and got into hardware (ISO layers FTW!) and it was all downhill from there.  I'm infinitely curious about almost everything and always wanting to know.

According to personality tests (real ones) I classify under "Rational" more specifically, a Fieldmarshal.  I think there's something to that.
