Hobbies

My work is my hobby -- computers.

This means that I spend most of my time behind a computer, or near one anyway. Old Computers (PDP-8, PDP-11, PDP-12) are a nice way of turning my work into a hobby.

As far as work goes, I operate a embedded software design / consulting company. Click here for more info!
