Castle

Welcome to my little Castle on the web. Welcome!

I'm a Wisconsinite transplanted into WNY. I love the Winter, the Packers, and a good bonfire. I'm also very geeky. I love reading sci-fi and fantasy fiction novels, as well as nonfiction about the histories of various scientific figures and discoveries. When I'm not outside in nice weather, I'm inside working with my PrintrBot or some electronics project. I've used these hobbies to supplant my new hobby: Astrophotography.

I work as a Research and Development Engineer/Metrologist/Dynamicist that for a company that manufactures noise and vibration test equipment. I travel some for work, so I get to do a lot of fun things, not the least of which is travel photography.

A little bit more about me...

The Most Fun with a Piece of Chalk is my nerdy musings. I'll post engineering, gaming, and technology stuff here.

ExploreTheDark is my photoblog. I picked up photography as a hobby, and wanted a nice place to share what I'm doing. I've been focusing on astrophotography, and really enjoy it.
