Hello out there. If you don't know me, and you're reading this, something is most likely amiss. This place is being created for those close enough to me to know who I am, without having to ask. So look around, visitor, if you like, but please don't touch anything, definately don't take anything, and if you don't like my dark, brooding art-deco style, too bad, because that's where I am right now; minimalist, functional is fine for me, and I like to try to keep things neat.

So don't pet the dog if you want to keep your fingers, tread carefully (the place is still under construction and therefore poorly lit,) and don't bump your head.

Yes... um, that is in fact, Russian music you're hearing, how'd you guess? It's Prokofiev, do you know it? The Battle on the Ice is one of my personal favorites. I might play some Rachmaninoff later if I can find the damn disc.

Anyway, I'll be around, probably designing a nuvo chess set, or some engineering marvel that requires ever-so-slight bending of certain fundamental physical laws, but will be so cool when it's done, or maybe just sorting my lint collection (for the hundredth time).

Let me know if you have any serious questions. Then I'll laugh and give you a faintly humorous answer. Sorry, it's just the way I am.
