Hello, I'm glad you're here! This page is about engineering, science, technology and fun things to do around southern California.
My home is in Southern California where I enjoy surfing, taking care of my historic house, playing the piano, photography and learning new things.
In my laboratory section I have a new entry. I bought a raspberry pi computer and soldered in a 40 pin header but I had to do some trouble shooting.
I have been working on a web site,Diner Calc, that calculates your restaurant bill with the tip and tax. It implements some things I learned with Java Script. It's a simple learning experience and hopefully someone will find it useful.
Here is some of the more notable content.
On my way back from Wisconsin in March, 2014, I visited the Saint Louis gateway arch
I have a GoPro camera. It's a great gadget that's great for capturing the wave of the day and various wildlife I see while surfing. But finally on 8-10-2011, I got my first usable video of dolphins. If you listen carefully, at 59 seconds you can hear the dolphins "whistle".
I'm a licensed pilot but I haven't been able to fly much in recent years so I was thrilled when my friend Dr. Case Ketting took me on a flight to from Santa Maria to Half Moon Bay airport.
