My Testimonials

Well, ok, it's hard to top that one Steve. At least I get to claim the pleasure of watching this Stellar Man blossom daily.

Tim gives GREAT HUG!!!

That little dimple by his mouth usually shows up when wicked thoughts flash across his mind, which usually means you are in for a treat.

I am so far head over heels that there is no turning back, ever, he IS that man behind the curtain!

I'm proud Tim is my father.

He's intelligent, interesting, and inventive. He's capable of making interesting gadgets you'd probably never thought possible. (Who would have thought you could actually make a burning bush that speaks?)

He's charming, good-looking, and generally well liked. (While this may be unimportant to some folks, I did get half my good looks from him. I also attribute much of my own charm and good manners to his positive example.)

He's been in the computer industry basically since the beginning. Had he been in California earlier in his career, and not the Indiana/Ohio area his early adoption would likely have been better compensated. His knowledge is vast.

I owe my own early adoption of computers -- and even my use of Linux -- on his help, assistance, and support.

He's imaginative and creative. He leverages his technical skills to make some really great art. His work has for many years now had a prominent place on the playa at Burning Man. (And everyone that goes to Burning Man is familiar with his L2K or L3K projects.)

While I may be totally biased. Personally, I think the greatness of this man is self-evident once you get to know him.

What can I say, but wow, I have only met this gentleman last week and my life expanded thousandfold.

On so many levels we clicked right away. So much to talk about and share, this will go on for a very long time indeed.

Next week I get to hug him for the first time, eagerly counting down the days. His voice is divine and soothing as well.

It was getting stupid windy as we were rolling through the MO / OK boarder region, so I stopped for the night, then I find I was a little more than an hour behind a tornado that killed 11 people very close to the place we just drove through. The storm is east of us now and still moving east, it looks to be moving north enough to miss hitting home, and moving fast enough that we will hit nothing but some rain as we close in on home tomorrow.

Odd thing is that yesterday we had some confusio... read more

I'm sitting in Bman HQ, waiting for Crimson to have a few moments to talk about L3K. There is such a focused vibe here, with the minutia of the event floating around, the millions of little details that lead to a week in the desert. HQ is full of art, dogs, kids, more art, and all the expected office items. Very much a Mac shop, with the server area and tech team having a large percentage of the office space. I intend to pick up my team tickets and the expense money. more later...

Yesterday was mixed for me, I meet people I needed to meet, including my main client and a investor of his. I enjoyed looking around and had some fun interaction with people showing the project. Some bozo grabbed one of the telescopes and dropped it on the floor. It's all busted up now, broken glass and part of the body cracked. O-well All four survived a week on the playa, One day in the Maker fair and one down.

The faire is over now, all that is left to get the Stars off the ceiling,... read more

The water line got fixed, Everything is up and running. The fair is filling up with people. They estimate 70,000 will pass through this weekend.

The peddle powered bus just drove by, video crews are on the prowl, and it's a beautiful day.
The dark room now has 5 Telsla coils, it's so noisy in there that My little project is useless. You can't hear anything. If it goes like most of these things, the coils will start burning out in a few hours and tonight or tomorrow it may get quiet eno... read more

Rule one, test everything, then test it all again. I violated my own rule and assumed that the batteries I nad not used were still good. Not so much. I have four of the noisy stars mounted and working, but all the others had dead batteries. Indigo is off on a mission to find screw top 6 volt batteries. We found them some distance away, but she is on the way back now and all will be fine.

I'm sitting outside because a Tesla coil guy blew out the wireless node inside the hall. There is a lo... read more
