I'm newbie Mike Veldman, I live in Stillwater Oklahoma and work in research here at the university. I just stumbled in here and thought I'd say hello. I'm one of those older geeks, that has never lost my enthusiasm for hanging out over the edge to see what is down there. I've been designing, building and engineering stuff for a living for a good forty years. For myself personally, a bit longer. On a daily basis I work in multiple disciplines, I guess that's the "real world", at home many more. I have a number of proven skills, but I'm not much of a talker, I will however try to contribute if I think I have something of value to offer. I listed many of my ongoing obsessions in my profile. In addition to my continuing obsession with tiny signals from space and building my retirement home, I'm making progress on my fusor and cyclotron. Yes, I'm one of those, I'll post some pictures at some point. Anyway, glad to be here. I like to hang with thinking types.

I just wanted to add, if any of you are social media types, I have a bunch of project and lab pictures on facebook.
