Welcome, readers!

As a freelance writer, I figured it was about time I had a blog. People have asked me about my blog, and I've been sort of embarrassed to say I don't have one. It's time to fix that. To some extent I've needed to be dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st century, but here I am. My underlying theme has to be materials. That's been the focus of my technical interests ever since college, when I took an introductory Materials Science course and became fascinated with the concept of engineered materials, the idea of being able to tailor a material's properties and function, and decided I had to get an advanced degree in materials science.

So I may write about anything from cool technology gadgets to home improvement, but there will be a materials angle somewhere in the story.
