Introduction

Hello everyone! I want to welcome you to my attempt at a blog. I wanted a place where I could brainstorm with my friends and people I don’t know about ideas big and small. I love to think “outside the box”. Okay, my friends would say I burnt the box down and moved next door to a Ziploc bag, but that’s beside the point. This thing might morph into something totally different, but we will all see when it gets there.

I want to start this off with some sort of introduction. I am in my late thirties, a father of three, a husband of one (no thanks to my wife), and small godlike being to three cats. I assume I am godlike since I am the giver of food and the remover of crap. Maybe that makes me their personal servant, but to me I would like to think the former. I have my PhD in physics (my specialty is electrochemistry) and I currently work as an engineer at a Fortune 1000 company. What I really want to do is get paid to be creative. To that end I am pursuing a few different ideas/interests to see if I can get there before I retire. The three are:

1) Open my own design firm.
2) Create an MMO (for those that are not geeks that is a massively multiplayer online game)
3) Become a screenwriter or even better screenwriter/director

Come on back and see how I try to accomplish all this. Learn from my mistakes, and then when you make it big you can hire me. (You always need a backup plan.)
