I have just finished my Masters in Electrical Engineering. In the last months of the Master's work, I became fascinated with geocaching and letterboxing. This led to interests in a phonetic version of English called Shavian. I have put links to letterboxing, geocaching, and Shavian up on the page now, as well as some electrical engineering links.
This last summer, I became interested in sea kayaking and have built 2 kayaks and a canoe. Links for these building projects are under "Kayak Page" above. I have had fun learning how to roll the kayaks and have integrated kayaking and letterboxing in some unique locations for letterboxes.
The other new interest in the past year has been slide rules. I learned how to use a slide rule as a freshman in college. By the time I was a junior, no one used them any longer, as the new TI scientific calculators were within most student's budget. I was fascinated to learn that there is an active community of people who are collecting old slide rules. I have a small collection on 7 or 8 my self.
