Hi from Kansas -- Physics teacher / experimenter

Hi all,
I've had an account here for quite a while, but as a consequence of an extreme level of busyness and a certain amount of absent-mindedness, I registered here and then kind of forgot about it for about two years.
Oops.
I'm Jim, a physics teacher and sometimes researcher, electronics experimenter, inactive-but-need-to-get-back-on-the-air ham kc0lpv , and general science and technology enthusiast. You can also find me on twitter at twitter.com/jim_deane where I just posted about finishing my latest project kit. Next on the bench is building the MIT Cosmicwatch muon detector. I occasionally post on a blog, dophysics.wordpress.com , which is where I'll be documenting the Cosmicwatch build.
I'm a degreed physicist and a high school teacher, and have done some research teaching at the university level. I've done quite a bit of work with QuarkNet, the US plasma physics researcher-teacher alliance, and have had the great fortune of spending time at particle physics research experiences at Fermilab and CERN [Edit -- and, relevant to this forum, PPPL]. I'm a follower of many electronics and science blogs, Youtube channels, pages, and groups. I play guitar slightly less terribly than I did before. Greatly enjoy history, art, and music.
