Thanks, Lee, for the link to my work (Feel free, people, to take longer than a second to look at it!), as well as inviting me to the forum.

I'll start setting up a construction thread (engineering report?) here to share & get some feedback, 'cause why should
MR be the middleman?
Thanks for the kind words about my work & photography (new camera! woot!), even when you knew I wasn't here

Well, I am now!
Looking forward to sharing ideas & photos (& beers, if you're ever in the San Francisco Bay Area).
Cheers!
