Working for Intel
I work for Intel at their research lab in Seattle where I’m fortunate to work with people I like on interesting projects. In the past few years we’ve invented a number of very cool technologies including the first wide-area 802.11 location system, a robot with e-field sensors in its fingers, a wearable device that can measure how and when you exercise and a way to send 60 watts of power safely and efficiently through the air (a couple of feet) to a device.

Woodworking
I enjoy making furniture as well as smaller projects like turned bowls and boxes. I first got into woodworking when I ran out of home remodeling projects to do. It took some getting used to the precision involved. I was used to 1/8th of an inch being pretty easy to ignore to needing to shave off a couple thousandths to get a mortise to fit well.

Flying model planes
I know I sound like a twelve year old, but I still enjoy flying model planes. All electric park flyers so I can take them to a nearby ball field or park. I fly with folks from work and we have fun chasing each others planes and the geese that venture over the field. (We were trying to put together an effort to launch an autonomous plane into the lower stratosphere on the cheap, but that project is on the back burner.)

Chickens!
Seattle is a town that allows people to keep chickens and it's caught on as a fun urban home-craft. I like ours a lot more than the family cat: they make pleasant clucking sounds and we’ve always got fresh, delicious eggs.

Cycling
Another hobby I’ve been doing since my teen years is bike riding. You wouldn’t think that a hilly, wet place like Seattle would be a biking Mecca, but it’s pretty great here. We’ve got lots of bike trails due to rails-to-trails programs and between the islands, mountains, valleys, ferries and interesting towns within 50 miles, there is a nearly endless supply of new rides to do. I prefer long (75 miles+) social rides, especially when they’re strung together into a multi-day event like the STP or the RSVP.

Here are the last 10 rides I’ve done.

Running
Running is a hobby I got into by accident. For years I was like an off-cycle bear: I’d get thin cycling all summer and then once the rains came, I’d hibernate for the winter and all the food and xbox would fatten me up. To combat this I took up running during winters to try and stay fit. I’d usually wind up hurting something by spring, just in time for the biking season to start. This past year though, I discovered the training philosophy of Jack Daniels (The running coach, not the American whiskey). His training approach stresses lots of slow running punctuated with small, controlled speed workouts. (As opposed to my old plan of running flat out every single run.) I stayed relatively healthy this year and in this 2010 running season I’ve done 2 half marathons (in Palm Springs and Tacoma) and a full marathon ( in Port Angeles).

Here are the last 10 runs I’ve done.

I made over thirty grand last year selling marmalade. Thats not bad, you know, considering marmalade.
