Welcome to Mystic Lake Software. This home page is a portal to my various activities as listed on the sidebar. I don't go into many details on this page since that would only repeat the information on the more detailed pages. 

The current activity - I kind of rotate through them - is robotics, specifically an analysis and discussion of the NASA  Sample Return Centennial Challenge competition that occurred at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. That discussion continues on this site in a semi-Wiki fashion.

When the Android OS first appeared I obtained a T-Mobile G1 and explored how to develop for the platform. I became very serious on this and developed the game Galactic Guardian: Zap GPS which was submitted to the Android Developer Challenge 2 and now available in a free Lite version on the Android Market. I shared what I learned in a blog.

 

Ham Radio is a continuing activity, especially communications for incidents. Incidents may include public service events or emergencies. I have a separate blog for those activities.
