Radiation Shield Looking Good So Far
wxstation.jpgThe radiation shield, shown here (below the rain gauge), seems to be working well so far. The data quality charts show better correlation with nearby stations than they have in the past. We have had a few sun breaks, but we could really use some bright sunny days to really put it to the test.
 
I have also been doing a lot of work on the station software over the Christmas holiday, finishing up the rain gauge support, improving hygrometer accuracy, and addressing some anemometer timing issues related to the internet time sync, all of which which has introduced a glitch or two, so the jury is still out on the radiation shield.
 
I will publish the updated software after I finish my shakedown tests.

Welcome!
This site is dedicated to my interest in engineering. I use it as a place to just put stuff "out there" for anyone who might be interested, as well as a job search tool. This page contains my engineering web log (to your left). Anything that seems timeless enough, or too involved for a log entry may get it's own page as a full-blown article. And, of course, my resume is here for anyone who might be considering hiring me to do something. Email me.

About Me
I have worked as a broadcast engineer, electronics designer (analog and digital) and software developer. I especially enjoy audio engineering, although I've been writing software for the last several years, since that's where the opportunities are in the Pacific Northwest (this is Microsoft country after all). I'm currently working as a Senior Staff Engineer -- Resume at another large independent software vendor in Washington State.

Futurama Web Site
(not my best side)

I majored in mathematics and physics in college. Other interests include music appreciation (baroque, classical and early romantic, ragtime, and 60's and 70's rock & roll), high fidelity audio electronics, meteorology and of course, computing hardware and software. I tend to think a lot like this guy.
