Arrival of the Narwhal

My taken name is 0111narwhalz, though due to username restrictions I have taken the name narwhalz0111 here. Simply "Narwhalz" is sufficient for conversation. My substrate resides in the lowlands of southern California, where I attend university. I am majoring in mechanical engineering.
My interests are manifold, ranging from this:

A trip to the local mountain bike park.

to this:

Pictured: Arduino Uno, two prototyping shields, a motor shield, a LEGO Mindstorms interface shield, a PWM shield, ten infrared rangefinders, and five ultrasound rangefinders.

I occupy myself with activities such as this…

My book collection, or at least half of the physical portion.

…this…

Keying your car… in spaaaace!

…an unhealthy amount of this…

Kerbal Space Program; craft used is the Rocjet, a single-stage-to-orbit cargo spaceplane.
Mods: B9 Aerospace, Karbonite Plus, Hangar Mod, B9 Procedural Wings

…this…

A view of Jool, rendered with Blender Cycles

…this…

Some glass I made with my lens

…more of this than I care to admit…

Severely broken graphics drivers during a new Linux Mint installation

…programming, and several writing projects.
I plan to share no less than several of these activities with you-that-are-Steemit in the coming months. Expect lots of sci-fi (with… extensive worldbuilding sessions), code, gaming, art, and some outdoors stuff.
