The research and technical design associated with those devices, along with exploring a few other ventures, required much time and effort over the last 10 years.

• • Lived in California (2010-2012).
  • Lived in Thailand, Taiwan and Canada (2012-2017).
  • Designed a series of Human Input Devices,inspired by Lin Yutang's Chinese typewriter.
  • During the process of setting up this website, I developed a conceptual model of what I refer to as the Personal Server.
  • Remodeled a 34' Airstream travel trailer for full-time travel, and explored the Western US. (2018-2021).
  • Founded Strong Medicine Publishing (2022).
