We Have Liftoff!

      Hi! This is the first (and hopefully not the last) blog post of my engineering career. I'd wanted to do this for quite some time while pursuing my Master's degree in engineering at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver. However, as any grad student will attest, grad school being what it is sucked the lifeblood out of me; furthermore, the combination of engineering and grad school was lethal - I spent most of my 3.5 years there trying to finish my thesis and graduate. The irony is that now that I'm working, I've finally found time to get around to this endeavor :)

    Although my engineering background is a confluence of Electronics, Instrumentation and Systems Engineering with a focus on Distributed Intelligence Systems, Peer-to-Peer (P2P) and Embedded Systems Development, I am a lover of all things technical - particularly if it has the word "Linux" stamped across it. I first discovered Linux and Open Source Software (OSS) three years ago during my second year in grad school, and was hooked within the first month of use; suffice to say that I have never gone back to that ubiquitous (but now erstwhile) operating system that I used out of necessity since 1991.

    So with this post, I hope to keep writing on a regular basis and share my experiences during what I hope will not be a short engineering career, and my various tinkerings with technology along the way. I hope they will be useful in some small way to the frustrated undergraduate and graduate engineering student, engineering professional or technical tinkerer who happens to stumble across these forays into the technological wilderness. May I become a better engineer through them.

    With that said, let the good times roll! See you in the next post!
