As an artist in my heart and soul, and a mechanical engineer by degree, I am curious, expressive, and grounded in the physical world. Being hyperactive is an asset in combination with being resourceful and inventive. I have designed and built things that do not work, and I’ve designed and built things that met my expectations. My creativity unabashedly operates within the permission granted by Linus Pauling: “The best way to have a good idea is to have lots of ideas.”
As an engineer, I learned about Critical Thinking and Structured Problem Solving. This blog is a result of putting these techniques to work in my life, and in my curious mind.
I will not say I am an artist, since REAL artists might get mad, as they have an art degree and I don’t, so I say I MAKE ART in the genre of Upcycling. I take my Upcycled art to shows where people look at it and buy it. 🙂 http://leftoverspg.weebly.com/
I do not think up most of the topics I write about here, but I will note it when what you are reading is completely my idea. I love learning. I read a LOT. Some of my favorite resources are:
***Environment Working Group http://www.ewg.org/
***Rodale Wellness http://www.rodalewellness.com/
***Wikipedia
Not everything I write about will interest everyone, but I truly hope something on my webpage engages your brain, stimulates your curiosity, or makes your life better, more interesting, more enjoyable, more productive.
