Favorite places and websites:
Lifelong interest in electronics, looking inside radios and TVs as a little kid, to building a sophisticated specialized computer for the high school science fair, digital lab instructor at Indiana Univ. Interested in high efficiency charge pumping circuits for solar power, scientific and engineering sensors and lab instrumentation, and homebuilt radios for fun.
See an ancient project i did in high school: the Digi-Dice
"Perfect Sine Wave Generator" - project i built in the 1980s to produce a very pure sine wave at 1kHz. Good for audio testing. details
Vital to the 21st Century!
Currently involved in early planning of a business to be run off-grid - details to be announced at the right time....depending on funding...
Favorite and interesting sites:
Physical artworks in colored pencil, acrylic and perhaps "other media" are on display in my website gallery I am collaborating with T. Jeffcott on sand paintings, not yet revealed to the public. We, along with Nick Stocking - and maybe others by the time your read this - have photography and digital art prints for sale at JeffcottWilson.com, and occasionally on display in local coffee shops, art galleries, art fairs, etc. Sales are handled through Courtney Jeffcott in Florida.
Photography, computer-generated images, and other works available at Zazzle
Spent five years as Image Analyst at CICLOPS, the team of scientists and staff responsible for the imaging system of the Cassini spacecraft at Saturn. more...
Occasionally i inspect and debunk UFO photos. I remember one with a gray oval in the sky. A colleague and I were studying it wondering if we could determine its distance or size. We knew right away looking at the next photo, which was of someone's puppy on a kitchen floor. Same gray oval in the same place on the print. Crud on the lens.
Creating a baseball seam curve in POV-Ray
I play saxophone, keyboard, electric bass and "miscellaneous" mostly for fun.
For something small i can take with me, i bought a harmonica. Not a fancy one, but certainly not a cheapo no-brand either. Good quality instruments are a joy to play and hear, while cheap one are frustrating. For my skill level (zero) and love and interest in music (infinite) this Hohner Marine Band will do. Experts say you can bend pitches, but i haven't managed to do that yet. Gimme a sax; i can cook on that!
Some favorite musicians
What does your taste in music say about your pesonality? I took this quiz and got these results. and later on, similar results. Hmmm, this test does not appear to be reliable. Do people who just listen to, dance to, and generally enjoy music find this test more reliable than those with training and talent in an instrument, composition and recording?
I'm a flexitarian (more info) - most briefly summed up as a vegetarian who cheats a bit.
This website was designed and written entirely by cats. I am glad they let me have at least some say in this project.
