Skills, Knowledge, Interests

• I'm a civil/environmental engineer and materials scientist by degree. Most of the things I work with are too big to hack.
• I enjoy a number of crafts, but I'm usually more interested in the product than the process. I've done mosaic art, basic crochet, some marginal watercolor, and a whole lot of scrapbooking. I can usually draw straight lines.
• I took a typography course in college and am fascinated by the beauty and history of letterpress printing.
• I know basic HTML & CSS. I fell off the web development wagon in 2002, but I know enough to install Wordpress. I am currently learning to program, starting in Python.
• I sing alto in a concert choir, and am dying to learn to arrange music for SATB voices. Learning to playing piano or guitar would be nice, too. I've ruled out instruments I can't sing with.
• I'm fluent in LOLcat.

Wishlist

• Kitchen stuff (stove, oven, sink) so we can do craaaazy molecular gastronomy [2] classes.
• Getting the podcast studio up and running so I can use it for multitracking [3]
• I'm browsing the Briar Press [4] classifieds for an appropriate press & accessories to set up a letterpress studio.
