About me I've been a computer programmer since I first started typing in program listings on a Commodore Vic 20 when I was about 8. My hobbies include electronics, CNC manufacturing, photography, beer and winemaking.
I live with my wife and lots of left-over parts from unfinished projects in Lincoln, Nebraska, USA.]

We recently travelled to Florida. I took a ton of photos, mostly in the Everglades. Here
are some of the better examples. Warning: Contains spiders and animals eating other animals.1 December 2012, 1:12 UTCAndroid "Birds of Australia" unpacker
For our recent trip to Australia, we purchased the Birds of Australia app;
it was really handy during our travels when we were trying to identify birds
(though there are some things about the UI which could be better).
As a tinkerer, I was interested in finding out how the app stores the
bird data and what modification opportunities may exist.

I took a little trip to the Lincoln Children's Zoo this weekend and got some photos. Here
are a few of the better ones.26 June 2011, 18:44 UTCElkhorn Slough Boat Tour
On our way back from Monterey to San Francisco, we rode a
pontoon boat on the Elkhorn Slough
near Moss Landing (named for Mr. Moss, not the plant). This provided the
trip's best opportunity to get close to seals, sea lions, and sea otters.14 June 2011, 3:18 UTCSome California Photos
Click through for a few pictures from California, mostly from around
Mendocino. A few are from the Petaluma area and the Big Basin redwood
forest. The long-tailed weasel (not a ferret!) is from half-moon bay.12 January 2011, 23:43 UTC300mm at the zoo
I recently bought myself a late Christmas present: a Canon 300mm f/4L IS lens.
Today I played hookey and went to the Omaha zoo to try it out.21 April 2010, 8:14 UTCFrankfurt Palmengarten
Here are a few of the things that caught my eye on our second visit to the
Frankfurt Palmengarten
(botanical garden).
The photos that were the most fun to take were the goslings; I was
surprised that the parents (who were right nearby) didn't take much notice
of me, even when I got within 2-3 feet of their babies! The little ones
barely noticed me either. I took 200 images of them alone, so it was hard
picking just 3 to show here.

We recently took a trip to the Omaha zoo. This was my first
trip to the new butterfly exhibit with my 105mm macro lens, and I'm pleased
with some of the shots I got. We also stopped in the Night World, Aquarium,
and Jungle.19 March 2009, 2:36 UTCFlorida Birds
