==About Me==
 +
I'm a founding member of Makers Local 256 and one of the people that got the idea jump-started along with [[User:Nykodemus|David]] back before we had a physical space to work in and were meeting in apartments.  This is the one thing I'm most proud of in my life to this date, absolutely no regrets.  I come up with a lot of ideas, as evident by my [[User:Strages#Projects|Projects]] and [[User:Strages#Notes|Notes]] sections.  I'm a big fan of the term "ideasmith".  May never get around to working on most of these, but at least they're documented somewhere.  If you see a project you like or can contribute to, have at it.<br /><br />

About Me

I'm a founding member of Makers Local 256 and one of the people that got the idea jump-started along with David back before we had a physical space to work in and were meeting in apartments. This is the one thing I'm most proud of in my life to this date, absolutely no regrets. I come up with a lot of ideas, as evident by my Projects and Notes sections. I'm a big fan of the term "ideasmith". May never get around to working on most of these, but at least they're documented somewhere. If you see a project you like or can contribute to, have at it.
