I have an urge to examine mechanical contraptions, trying to figure out how they work.  I’m not at all sure it’s a control-thing; rather I think it’s curiosity on its own or a desire to understand the subject. In any case, I’ve been taking apart – and most often successfully putting together – everything from alarm clocks to car engines as far back as I can remember.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, in the beginning, this website started out revolving around mechanicality<\/em>.  Nothing specific, yet everything in particular. Views on serviceability of todays consumer products on one end of the scale and nittygritty specifics on which self-locking washers are the best on the other end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inevitably (obviously?), I couldn’t limit myself to mechanicals only. So now the site also has pages on electronics, software and astronomy, recently accompanied by pages on travelling and motorcycles. Also, there’s less fact-based areas like Desmond Morris<\/a>‘ studies on human behaviour.  Or photography – the art, not the technique. So much to discover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just knowing why<\/em> brings me joy. And sharing that knowledge doubles the joy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note: The writings presented here are NOT a complete record of what I do. I write for fun and when I feel like writing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
