I am something of a skills collector: Bicycles (roadie/former amateur racer), cars (mods/engines/paint), composite prototyping, metal machining, home foundry metal casting, embedded programming, analog and digital electronics design, reverse engineering, KiCAD, PCB etching, motor controls, python, CPP, Forth, woodworking, Linux desktop, Linux kernel deep dives, computing hardware, open source software, Dune, Asimov, SciFi, astronomy, telescopes, designing and building optics, 3D printing, CAD design, FreeCAD, Blender, cooking better than the best restaurant foods, Asian cuisine, psychology

I am a generalist, but a swiss army knife, I know about and do a lot, but I am like the worst scissors you've ever attempted to carry and use. I can get the job done, but am well aware I am not a master of any of these.

That's how I feel with my many hobbies I've tried. I just categorize it as curious.

I have no qualms over admitting curiosity is the one trait I find most interesting and respectable, in others.

Are you me?

Also I want to pick my first SAK, looked at all of them and Fieldmaster is my pick. Was confused with Ranger, Huntsman and Huntsman Lite till yesterday. Any suggestions?
