| - | After my divorce in 2005, I was looking for something to occupy my time and had always looked back with fondness on my youth playing with LEGO. Back in those days I was always disappointed that I didn't have the money to have all the parts I wanted to be able to build the wild and crazy stuff in my head. As a reasonably well paid computer geek with a lot of free time on their hands, there didn't seem to be any reason I couldn't at least buy a few sets and see what happened. | + | After my divorce in 2005, I was looking for something to occupy my time and had always looked back with fondness on my youth playing with LEGO.

| About a year later when a "few" sets had become a few more I was able to find [[http://www.twinlug.com|TwinLUG]], a group of people in the area already meeting to talk about LEGO and what they were doing with it. When [[http://www.flickr.com/photos/bisonfuehrer/|Max Braun]] came up with the original idea for the Micropolis standard I was excited to participate and ended up being the person who maintains [[http://twinlug.com/micropolis-micro-city-standard/|the official specification]]. When we were revising the specification back in 2010 I was the one who came up with (and one of the few who has ever implemented) the Bluff extension. | About a year later when a "few" sets had become a few more I was able to find [[http://www.twinlug.com|TwinLUG]], a group of people in the area already meeting to talk about LEGO and what they were doing with it.

| - | As someone who identifies pretty strongly as an engineer, I still like to think of myself as a Technic builder but the majority of my work in LEGO over the past few years definitely has been Micropolis. | + | As someone who identifies pretty strongly as an engineer I still like to think of myself as a Technic builder but the majority of my work in LEGO over the past few years definitely has been Micropolis. |
