Daniel Livingston

Well, to start with, my name is Daniel Livingston. I'm an Electrical Engineer and I live in Chili, NY (a suburb of Rochester). I grew up interested in electronics and was in the habit of taking things apart. My parents will tell you that I was always breaking stuff, but that's not true. It's just that when I put something back together, it didn't always work the same (or at all). I grew up watching Science Fiction TV shows like Lost in Space, Star Trek and The Twilight Zone. I was also into model building, with one of the first kits I built being the Aurora - Lost in Space Robot model. A rather large comic book reading habit also fueled my imagination. Throughout high school and college, I tinkered with electronic projects. I built many small electronic kits, as well as several of the projects that were featured in Popular Electronics magazine at the time. A pack-rat at heart, I have always scavenged parts from old (and new) electronic equipment, so I have accumulated quite a collection of junk bin parts. It's always nice to have the "right" part for a project on hand. So, fast forward 25 years and here I have built my very own Lost in Space B9 robot and several other Sci-fi prop replicas. My next project is a Burroughs B205 Console.
