Making

From Lego as a child, through hobby electronics and the metalshop at school while a teenager, I have always enjoyed making things. I seem happiest where the real world and the digital one collide. I qualified with a degree in Cybernetics, this is not a coincidence.

Nowadays we have the delights of 3d printers; affordable home CNC machines and the microcontrollers and software toolchain to support them.. I sometimes explain to people how the OpenMake, RepRap, Arduino and other systems make a very competent and accessible constructors kit for Adults, and I'm keen to play with it.

Tech

I love technology!
