I'm an astronomer in Perth, Australia, on the operations team for the MWA radio telescope in the Murchison. My loves are family, chocolate, cats, dogs, chocolate, reading, D&D and other role-playing games, chocolate, Python, and chocolate.

A bunch of friends designed and built it, we raced it in 2001 and 2003, then passed it on to Leeming high school, then onto Willetton high school, kick-starting their solar car programs.

The lab is full of cool gear - including a big box full of capacitors and sulphur hexafluoride, used to drive an antenna to generate EMP pulses in an enclosed chamber, to study how to harden IC's against damage.

You should come visit CIRA so I can show you round the lab. There's lots of goodies there to geek out over if you're into RF.
