Greetings Nutcases, this is the Clockwork Doctor.  Nuchtchas has been kind enough to grant me some space on her blog, so this will act as my quaint little home, nestled in between the tubes of the Internet; My little oasis in the digital aether.

A brief introduction then, yes?  I’ve been known on the internet as Tek for over a decade now.  I’m happily married to the Mighty Nuchtchas herself, and live in New Brunswick Canada in my geeky paradise of a house.  Computers, models, NERF guns, real guns, more computers, a ~lot~ of video games, and a growing collection of steampunk accessories fill the house and threaten to take over more than a few rooms.  Honestly, who knew a mechanical Italian doctor would come with so much luggage?

I am a Sergeant (E6 for the Americans in the audience) Weapons Technician with the Canadian Armed Forces.  I’ve served for 14 years, had 2 tours to Afghanistan, and have worked on everything from pistols to tanks to gatling guns, and almost everything in between.  Deep in my heart though, I’ll always be a geek.  I love machines, I love guns, and I love talking about machines and guns.  This is what I hope to share with you all in these little posts: My passion.

So what am I going to talk about exactly? I don’t know yet, I haven’t thought that far ahead.  My first thought is to write a bit of a beginner ballistics guide.  I’ll discuss some terms, some myths, and show you all some neat math, I hope.  I certainly don’t expect this to be everyone’s cup of tea.  Discussing ballistics, or physics or engineering is a dry topic at the best of times, so I’ll try to keep it light, and fun.

Hopefully you’ll stick around and watch what happens, Stay tuned!
