| I am the Head Writer at [[http://erielookingproductions.info|Erie Looking Productions]] and present ''[[http://ohio.ubuntu-us.org/burningcircle|The Burning Circle]]'', the podcast of the [[OhioTeam|Ohio LoCo Team]].

| Right now my netbook serves up what it can and travels with me. The [[http://www.digikey.com/product-highlights/us/en/texas-instruments-beagleboard/685|BeagleBoard-xM]] is functioning as a server. Currently I am looking to acquire another low-power ARM board to act as a desktop due to current power budget restrictions in force. An Arudino has been purchased by a benefactor which will allow some work in experimentation along the lines of building perhaps a timebase focusing on [[http://www.nist.gov/pml/div688/grp40/wwv.cfm|WWV/WWVH]] or some other project that comes to mind with what junkbox parts I do have on-hand. | ''Amateur Radio Operator (General Class).

Wishful Thinking: Matters I Wish To Undertake
In many respects the coronavirus crisis has effectively derailed most planning that I have had. For several months earlier in 2020 planning became so short-term that I could not plan beyond the next daily press conference by Ohio Governor Mike DeWine. Original plans for this part of 2020 would have had me in a far different place than I am right now.
These were not the adventures I expected. I do not know what awaits. I'm not sure what I want to do as I have spent too much of this year reacting instead of acting. Spending six years in a job where I had to self-redact and mute myself daily did not help me either.
