Welcome!

...to my personal web page! I have a lot of interests, but they all seem to revolve around a theme of what I suppose you could call "radical self-sufficiency".

I've got some writing to do on the subject, but for now, how about some keywords?

open source, DIY (do-it-yourself), distributed power, decentralization, ubiquitous information access, ecologies, recycling, health, environment, visualization, contextualization, hacking, fun, hovercraft racing, seasteading, space colonization, citizen & amateur science, tinkering, small-scale manufacturing, replicators, video games

Stuff

(I keep all the odds & ends of info down here.)

To advertisers...

If you'd like to discuss the purchase of ad space or sponsorship deals, contact me.

I prefer local businesses and interests, but even if you hail from afar, if I like your ethics and your products/services, I probably won't say no.

To readers...

...and haters of ads: I can sympathize. If/when I can support this site (and the activity it represents) without ads, I'll remove them. (And if you have ideas (or short-term employment opportunities) that might help to hasten that day, let me know!)

To the generous...

If you'd like to make a donation, I have a paypal account registered to ecd@ecdgames.com. Click the pretty button here to proceed:

If you have a specific project or effort of mine that you want to support, let me know and I'll set aside your donation for that.

I also accept some donations of material. (Raw materials, parts, components, tools, food, fiber, fuel, etc..) What I want/need varies, but I pretty much always accept mechanisms and electronics for salvage/analysis.

Privacy

As you've likely noticed, this site displays ads from Google. This involves a tracking cookie. You can read more about this (and opt out, if you so desire) here.

Personally, I don't track you across the web, but I do check my access logs to see what people like to look at and where they come from.
