Glowing Owl

A hacker is not a bad guy that commits crimes. A hacker is someone who is interested in a topic and tries to figure out how it works.

I do what hackers do. I introduce the future to the present. Some of the greatest figures in history have been hackers, although they did not know the word.

I am an eclectic hacker. My interest goes way beyond computing. The following are examples of projects that are related to this site. They represent a fraction of the things I’ve done in other areas.
