Hi everyone,

My name is Michael, I live in Saint Paul, (though the love of my life will always be Santa Fe). I design and build telescopes, and am way into music (pretty much every kind -- Bach to Pink Floyd -- and play alto sax). Also love good theatre and movies, caving, rock climbing, being under a street-light and staring straight up into the snow at night (try it!), reading and writing, my computer (esp. HD video production, image processing and programming), and most importantly, chilling with friends.

There's probably been nothing I've loved more since I was about 12 than raising Giant Silkmoths!

...(though slings are climbing the charts)

Saturniidae, Ornithoptera, Papilionidae, Theraphosidae

Moths and Butterflies, Tarantulas, Telescope design (and using them, from a mountaintop, to explore our infinite, intimate backyard!), pets that freak out my friends (at least at first, till I get them to hold them!), music, hiking at night, computers, inventing, skiing, reading and writing, and outdoor adventure.
