WELCOME to my web page.

I am a semi-retired engineer, a technical kind of guy.

I conserve global resources in a small way by fixing fine old things, thereby diverting a tiny part of our wastestream. Saving things that can and should be saved. Useful things. Well made things. Things that were designed for longevity, and not disposable like much of today's stuff.

These days, I am most often occupied with the restoration of fine older electronic equipment from the likes of Tektronix or Hewlett Packard. I also have several ongoing projects with renewable energy themes. Or, sometimes I can be found just helping my neighbours and family with their technical issues.

I also provide professional technical support to a number of demanding clients, mostly related to video editing or animation systems. I follow my interests, when I can, in and around the beautiful Niagara Escarpment area here in southern Ontario, Canada.

I trade on Ebay with user ID ffwdm.
