==Welcome==
Hello! You've stumbled upon yet another bandwidth consuming personal site on the great WWW. A place where you can read about the interests and thoughts of someone you probably don't know! Of course, there is probably much more [http://www.google.com/search?q=interesting+stuff|interesting stuff] out there if you don't find anything of interest here. :)

==About Site==
hossweb.com is a site I've had around for many years for me to post random information about me, my hobbies, etc. Often times a place for me to keep information online for myself, other times for family/friends to access, and yet some in case the information is useful to masses. I tend to find some of the best information about specific things on peoples personal sites.

This is v4.0 of hossweb.com. I decided to try out a wiki based web engine this time. I just don't have the time to develop a full site with all the features I wanted (at least not in the time frame I would like) so I'll give this wiki engine a try and see how it goes. I have plenty of robotics and coding projects to keep my geek skills up. This site style should allow me to make quick and easy updates so hopefully I can get back to getting content up regularly again.

==About Me==
Born and raised in Portland, OR, I grew up always taking things apart, often not putting them back together, just to see how they worked. I was introduced to computers in the 2nd grade when my school got a single [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TI-99|Texas Instruments TI-99/4A]. I was hooked. My mother ended up getting me one. I graduated to an [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_IIc|Apple IIc] and used [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macintosh_SE|Macintosh SE] in school. Then I got into IBM style PCs and been on Windows/Linux since. The majority of my time currently is with Windows. I code mostly in [C Sharp|C#] and ASP.NET. I also have experience with HTML/XML, Java, Perl, PHP, SQL, PowerShell, Batch, VB, C/C++, and various variations of many of these used in micro-controllers.

In addition to computers, I'm also a mechanical person and love working on cars, welding, machining metal, etc. [Robotics_About|Robotics] is something I've been into since the mid 80's (back in 8th grade!) as I find it a great combination of mechanical, electrical, and computer/software areas.

I also ride motorcycles, have since before I had a license or car. Been in one wreck, I came out OK, but my buddy that ran into me with his bike spent a couple weeks in bed with little skin on his back and his girlfriend broke her arm. The bike I had that I liked the least was a Honda CM400 automatic, the fastest was a 2001 ZX-12R Ninja ([http://cid-1660a9a26be8da95.skydrive.live.com/browse.aspx/Public|I made a few videos of it]), my favorite is my current [My Valkyrie|2000 Honda Valkyrie Interstate].
