Love, happiness, children, linux/unix, plone, python, pulsejet engines, tesla coils, CNC machinery, building machines, robots, art, photography, sculpture, very large art, geology, fire, and a few other things.
Anyone with access to large amounts of surplus machinery, stepper motors, servos, ballscrews, mills, lathes, linear motion equipment... Ok. Well really, I am serious. I'd like to meet folks that want to make shit and don't end up tripping on their egos in the process.
I've also been known to head out to the Black Rock Desert for that overpriced raver hippie disneyland called Burning Man. But I go there to blow shit up and waste as much fuel as possible.
Everything, pretty much. Could do without some of the real hard shit and the crappy hip hop of late. Not a new country fan, either, but that old time country and bluegrass is speaking to me, these days
My Dad. He may be a wacky republican, but he is the man that taught me more about life than anyone else.
