Geeky Interests
• Computers and Technology, of course. Yes, don't laugh...I'm a card-carrying member of the IEEE and a Ham Radio Operator.
• Photography. I LOVE film but am addicted to digital.
• Manual lever espresso machines. First, it started with playing with Pavoni Europiccola espresso machines. I created a how-to page a couple of decades ago, and I'm STILL getting emails from other owners. It is probably time to update the site. Now, I’m infatuated with Elektra Microcasa lever machines too!
Home
I live in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, with my long-suffering wife, The Kid and a couple of cats (although The Kid is angling for a dog...apparently a REALLY BIG dog!)?
Update (October 18, 2010): The really big dog turned out to be not so large, but is very cute!
