My name is Ben, and as you probably figured out, this is my blog. I am an electrical engineer specializing in power electronics – switching power supplies, regulation, etc. I am also a bass player, primarily Jazz. I like playing with Linux, electricity, and my cats, as well as hiking, alternative/renewable energy, and programming.

If you can’t turn that into a real Email address, I’m just going to assume you’re a script. Also, I use the Akismet plugin to minimize comment spam here. It does a very good job, but I apologize in advance if it filters you by mistake. I usually give the spam list a quick visual check, but I don’t always catch everything.
Hey Ben,
Heardall here from wayback from the old wwn days. Thought I’d stop in and see if you were still up with the karma. I tell people about the old days at the wwn, and they just look at me weird. I see the place has changed since the ikonboard days.
Holy crap, I’d almost forgotten about those days… Yes, I’m still here, and still at it, though I kind of let the message board thing slide. I figured I’d just keep the domain around and throw a blog here.
WWN was an interesting place. It was great because everyone pretty much agreed that the publication itself was valuable for a good laugh and maybe as kindling, and yet they kept the forums going for a while. There were some trolls, but quite a few interesting people around too. I’m not sure there are many places like it now, but then again I haven’t been on very many message boards lately.
Anyway, hope things are going well for you. Thanks for dropping by!
