    a.) Writing tools for visual handicapped people. E.g. Sound editing programs with 'auditive UI' b.) Attempting to understand and program numerical solutions of differential equations without the help of libraries :-\ But at the end it is related to my job ;)

      Meeting Mrs.' every whim with a smile. Keeping my greyhound happy with treats without letting him get fat. Calibrating the amount I pet my fat cat ("don't pick me up! rub my belly!") and my skinny cat ("too much is never enough"). Trying to find all of my marbles I've lost over the years.

It is not genius which reveals to me suddenly, secretly, what I have to say or to do in a circumstance unexpected by other people; it is reflection, it is meditation." - Napoleon I

            Computer graphics stuff and robot simulators. I have figured out forward kinematics and I'm trying to figure out inverse kinematics now. There are pictures in my profile. My 'avatar' is one example of the CGI stuff.

                Writing, recording, mixing my own music, usually very badly. Creating things with stained or art glass. DIY home improvement projects. Exploring a few of Tennessee's 12,000 known caves.

                  I've used inverse kinematics in AutoDesk 3D Studio with a biped. Fun stuff.

                        I really want to re-write a manufacturing system I've supported for 20+ years. Sometime in the near future, there is a small sailboat in my dreams.

                                  I have apart time bladesmithing business. It is a hobby that got out of hand and now I make high end things for collectors. Aside from that I'm on and off writing a book about DCOM and Windows Security for developers.

                                      I think the official count by the Tennessee Cave Survey is actually somewhere around 11,600. But we count anything at least 50' in horizontal length, or at least 30' deep if it's a pit requiring vertical gear, as a cave. And we're finding more every year.
