About Me

A career student still working on a BS in electrical engineering, I might have given up by now if I didn't have a deep interest in the subject. (working on an associates right now) I have interests in politics, audio hardware, sports cars, electronics, physics (quantum and astro), computers and brain physiology among other things. I sometimes delve into music too. I have spent time playing bass guitar on the local music scene, which boosted my interest in electronics and influenced me to change majors from mechanical to electrical. I spend a fair amount of time visiting the local pub scene on the weekends. I also like to spend time fishing in the Gulf of Mexico and around the Florida Keys when I get the chance.

I'm not worried about...

being killed by a crazed gunman or being blown up by terrorists. I am worried about being killed by cancer, heart disease or a traffic accident.

Car Troubles

The alternator on my beloved '91 Acura Integra went out a couple of weeks ago, stranding me in the maze that is North Chattanooga. No big problem, one might think. Just get it home, remove...

There is nothing quite like...

riding a bicycle to the top of a mountain and looking off at the starting point miles away. It still doesn't quite satisfiy the jones though. I haven't found anything that will do that yet anyway.
