To that end I have started or contribute my time to public radio stations, develop software for the exchange of email and conferences to/from the Internet and a low-cost computer network called FidoNet. I also was one of the folks that started an early low-cost Internet Service Provider called TLGnet.

Currently I am doing work as an advocate for unlicensed wireless in the support of community networks. To that I am a founding member of the Bay Area Wireless Users Group, a founding member and flogger of the Bay Area Wireless Research Network and have written a number of papers and presentations on the technology and regulation behind licsensed and un-licensed wireless networks.

I have a number of current interests such as:

Wireless IP
• Tucson Amateur Packet Radio helps develop data communciations via radio.
• Bay Area Wireless Users Group is looking into creating Metropolitian Wireless Networks (MAN).
• San Francisco LAN has created a MAN in the Presidio in San Francisco.

History of atomic technology, policy and use from 1930 to current.

• The Day After Trinity is a documentry on the building of the first atomic bomb by the US directed by J. Robert Oppenheimer. It shows both the humanity and in-humanity of the race to develop the most massivily destructive human-made device to be built at that point. This is a film everyone should see if they are starting to investigate this era.
• From the folks that brought you the Atomic Age Los Alamos Lab.
• And when Edward Teller was pissed off that LANL wasn't going fast enough on the H-bomb he started Lawrence Livermore National Lab.
• The Department Of Energy is always a riot.

History of electronics from 1900 through 1960s.

• Vacuum Tube Valley is a great magizine focusing mainly old and new tube based audio equipment. They also cover manufacturing and where you can buy these beasts.
• Tom Jennings is starting to collect odd tubes and their datasheets from the 40s through the 70s. He also has an interest in cold war droppings.

Radio Broadcasting

• The FCC Rules and Regulations sponsored by Hallikainen & Friends

Dow Corninge 3179 Dilatant Compound (aka "Silly Putty").

• Dilantant compound information sheet from Dow Corning. Dow Corning has its ups and downs since declaring bankrupcy.

And if you really want to know all about me, I have a bio that I am in the process of writing or check out my page on "Laminates as an autobiography".
