Hello, I'm glad you're here! This page is about engineering, science, technology and fun things to do around southern California.
My home is in Southern California where I enjoy surfing, taking care of my historic house, playing the piano, photography and learning new things.
In my laboratory section I have a new entry. I bought a raspberry pi computer and soldered in a 40 pin header but I had to do some trouble shooting.
I have been working on a web site,Diner Calc, that calculates your restaurant bill with the tip and tax. It implements some things I learned with Java Script. It's a simple learning experience and hopefully someone will find it useful.
