Hobbies

Here are my hobbies, I'll add more detail later...

• Animation and Film
• Art
• Astronomy/Space Science - I have a small telescope, and at some point I want to do three things:
  • Redo Hubble's work on measuring redshift
  • Redo the measurements that determined the standard candles that are used to estimate the distances to various stars and galaxies.
  • Start doing stellar spectrography/spectrometry as an excuse to do some interesting digital signal processing.
• Amateur Radio
• Computer Programming
• Digital Signal Processing
• Electronics
• Energy Issues
• Golf
• Languages, although my efforts at fluency are hampered by having too many things to do. I need to improve my focus.
• Orienteering
• SCUBA Diving
• Robotics
• Sailing - I learned to sail a while back, but have not sailed in a while. I've not posted any photos, but remember when you see an E-scow heeled over, a flat scow is a miserable scow. The happiest scows are about to tip over. I sailed on H-23 Asanti, I've linked to a few photos below.
  • I learned at Hoofer's Sailing Club
  • I raced E-Scows with Mendota Yacht Club
  • Asanti from behind
  • Asanti from the side
