Ham radio, and a locksmith kit
Amateur radio aimed at emergency services and disaster relief, including several days as a “First Responder” below the line in New York after September 11, 2001.
Also a certified locksmith — strictly a hobby.
Websites
Small sites, plainly built
Websites for people and organizations who would rather not think about websites — and who want to be able to change a paragraph themselves afterwards.
Let’s talk.
Cohousing consulting, a contractor bid that needs a second pair of eyes, an editing job — or just to say hello.
