Other notes about me:

I'm a nerd. I like learning new stuff.

I once built a 2D orbital motion simulator just to see if the 3D equations from the real world compressed to two dimensions properly. Turns out they sorta do but there are some weird singularities, so I wrote new versions of some of the equations so they wouldn't explode.

I've decided it will be smart to retrofit fuel injection and a turbo on a 40 year old Rover with known cylinder head problems, and am currently working on a way to use 1990s BMW M3 parts to make that work.

One day I wondered what might go into making rocket fuel so I destroyed a wok making solid rocket propellant in my kitchen. I never made a rocket with it, but I did encase an iPhone in the stuff and light it. The iPhone did not survive.

I think that just about covers everything. Thanks for reading!
