I have always been interested in technology.� Computers are a main interest but I like electronics too.� I guess I really don't fall into the hard core computer geek category at all.� I am more a hobbyist.� At one time I was on my way to total geekdome but I found my way back.� I still am really intrigued by electronics and I am considering a career in electronic engineering.� It all depends on my willingness to put up with school.� Right now I am in the military and I work on electronics all the time.� For more on that you should go to my 69 page.
I took electronics for 3 years in high school.� I also took an electronics special projects class my senior year.� In this class I made an amplifier.� I never did finish it but it wasn't totally my fault.� My teacher at the time told me to use a voltage divider circuit but didn't tell me some of the characteristics of it that ended up being detrimental to my project.� I found out with my military training what the reason for my failure was.�
Besides electronics I took CAD(computer aided design) classes.� My senior year I had CAD Special Projects.� For my senior project I designed my electronics project on the computer.� I almost finished it but unfortunately the computer crashed a couple weeks before it was finished.� I didn't have it saved on disk either (oops).� Doing both projects is what really turned me on to the whole engineering idea.�
I also took a class on computer repair in high school.� I think that because of this class I got out of the whole computer thing.� It got really old fixing computers.
