Spontaneous, and not-so-spontaneous projects: About Me

Spontaneous Projects is a chronicle of all of my projects, a reference for me, and a way to prevent others from making the same mistakes.

Hi, I'm Dane Evans

I'll assume that if you've found this blog you know a little about my chronicled projects, and the problems and puzzles that inspire and interest me. It is an ongoing process to revisit old solutions and improve on them, so I doubt that any of these projects will really be put to bed.

Here's what is not included in the main blog:

I grew up in Cooma, and currently reside in Canberra.
I love to travel, and would happily move just about anywhere in the world.
I've recently completed the coursework, to graduate in July 2014 with a Bachelor of Science majoring in Physics, and a Bachelor of Engineering majoring in Mechatronics.

Within this broad background, the areas that I have found particularly inspiring are fluid dynamics, computer vision, and digital circuit design.

I have played Ice Hockey for the last 4 years on a local level, including two second places and a championship as part of the Canberra Eagles. For the last two years I have also coached a both of the beginner teams. This has been a challenging and very rewarding role, helping to introduce players to the sport and teaching them how to play and think the game.
I'm an avid climber, caver, paddler, bushwalker and mountain biker. I love to be outside in the sun, or underground, leading and participating in trips varying from half day to month long expeditions.
I edit and contribute to a few other blogs, Gone Epic which follows my outdoors pursuits, and Hockey Rookies which aims to address the challenges and difficulties that an expensive, fringe sport poses in Australia.
