What is finkbuilt?

Finkbuilt is the current iteration my personal web site. It is a place for me to share the fruits of some of my tinkering, as well as that of others. It is also place for me to post about whatever random bits of debris happen to float my way.

Who am I?

I currently work as a UI designer for The Walt Disney Internet Group in Seattle.

I am also a father of 2, and husband to 1. It seems that I am eternally remodeling our house, wrenching on an engine, or building something in my basement laboratory. This site is here to show you some of the intersting tidbits that shake out during my tireless pursuit of the perfect hobby.

Mostly, I sit at a desk in an office all day.

Here is a live view from my window:
