So it begins…

I have been wanting to redo all of my various websites into one. I use to have 3 and it was getting just ridiculous trying to manage that many sites. First, they were not that popular. Second they were costing me a small fortune to maintain and lastly…. well see number 1. It was just too much work. I’ve looked at Squarespace for quite a while and I like their simplicity. I’ve wanted a website to show my work in all of my activities but also wanted something that was simple to maintain. I think with GeekGrandpa.com I have something that will accomplish all that I’m looking for in a website and I won’t kill myself in trying to maintain the site.

For the moment, I am not going to allow any comments on my site. First, this is a education/science/geek website. I have zero interest in moderating politics, religion, trolls and everything else that exists these days on the internet. I may…. and I say that very cautiously, may change this policy in the future, but for the moment my site is for those who share an interest in the things that interest me and might be interested in what I’m doing. Lets see how this goes before we march on to other territories.

Like I said, this is a site for those things that interest me. SO what are those things?

1) Education outreach especially in the areas of astronomy, engineering, photography, science & animation.

2) Geek stuff - SDR, 3D Printing, all things maker, Raspberry Pi, Arduino’s and a host of all the cool stuff one can do these days.

3) GeekGrandpa speaks for itself. I’m a husband, father and yes a grandpa. I love family above all else. I’m always looking for things I might do with my grandchildren and wanted an outlet to show those things that have been successful as well as those that have not.

4) TBD… Probably my biggest problem is wanting to get involved and learn about too many things. It tends to make me lose focus at times but I just gotta know how things work. It’s the way I’ve always been wired and age has not slowed that down. If anything, more time has made the issue worse.

I hope you find my site interesting. I hope it is a resource you can use.

Peace and Enjoy!
