Although this site is polluted with photographs of me, you'll notice that I've made a conscious effort to keep my face out of your line of site. This is a testament to the fact that not only do I own a mirror or two, but I'm also mature enough to recognize my own shortcomings.

Which is also why I enjoy building clocks -- the hard part's already done. All I have to do is build the case.

I love it when I tell someone I'm building a clock and they think I'm building the movement, too. Of course, I explain the scenario and am then hit with, "yeah, I didn't think you could do that."
