Hello from Hap

[Hap]

Hello. My name is Hap, and I am fascinated by this site. I am an electrical engineer and nuclear engineer by education, and I have spent most of my professional life in the electric generation industry as a power plant mechanical system design engineer.

I live in Omaha, Nebraska, (USA), I attended Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa, and I am a curious student of TOE, albeit a beginner. I will be looking around to find out what this site is about, and I hope to enter the river of knowledge without drowning.

I wonder if there is a some good background reading available that someone would point me to in order that I can bone up on where we are at with the science. Does anyone know if there are good on-line publications available such as libraries that offer (hopefully with free access) information and data?

In my little world I find that often one can easily drown in data and starve for information. Perhaps there is the equivalent of a tour boat 'text book' around for my first voyage where I can observe the ocean of knowledge on a cruise that will explore and show me the most popular ports of call.

It is good to be here, and I am glad that some people have developed this site for an inviting port of call on the peer of adventure. Thank you, all of you!

Hap

That which you seek to answer is always dependant upon the question at that moment .. good luck .. hope you enjoy it here ..

Some of the members have journals (I dont) if you care to look in user profiles you will find them .. nb try the moderators first lol ..

Regards Ashley

*Grumbles* Welcome. Can't wait to hear what you got to say. *grumbles somemore, pulling out a spritzer bottle and spraying himself in the face as he walks away.*
