My Toolset

I make things as often as I can, both in the software world and the real world. This is a list of tools that I own and can use. There are a few tools here for which I consider myself a world class expert and others with which I can just barely manage to accomplish whatever short term goal I had in mind when I acquired it. There is a broad scope of technologies here. My intererests are broad and I thinks that brings great perspective to many different types of projects. I think that perspective is very useful in lots of situations. I think I am pretty good at keeping in mind both what I know and what I don't. I don't consider myself a jack of all trades but I can work effectively in many environments both getting things done on my own and working with others with effective communication supported with fundamental knowledge.
