Eurring bimetal coin jewelry
I make earrings and other jewelry from two-part coins, like the Euro, the Canadian Toonie, Pesos from Mexico and Argentina.  It started as a birthday present for Sherry, and it got out of hand.

Emergency Preps and Related
I'm an amateur radio operator, involved in emergency response and preparedness on Bainbridge Island.  This is earthquake country, or tsunami country, or volcano country, depending on what you like to worry about.  These are materials that I've produced or collected.

Programming
My day job is as a computer analyst, and my favorite programming tool is Delphi, a Borland product using Pascal in a Windows environment.  The following items are a few projects, the largest here being the Drill Designer, which is also related to my emergency preparedness work.

Random Thoughts and Projects
Strange ideas, data-free conjectures, games to play with your brain.  Thoughts not quite worthy of being in the same part of the site as hairless apes copulating in the water, and similar sober subjects.
