Unplanned Trips

It is rather remarkable how an unplanned trip to a hospital can alter your Blog plans!

While on a recent driving trip (to Yellowstone National Park and elsewhere) I suffered an illness which ultimately put me in a hospital. Had not planned on that. Most people don’t. To keep this post short, I wound up having emergency surgery and getting stuck in that hospital for 10 days. After returning home, had a different illness which required another surgery and a stay in a local hospital. Still recovering from these. Sure can mess up a person’s attempts at doing a Blog.

I will try to get back to some serious technical writing again, soon! That technical stuff is rattling around in my head!

I'm an optical engineer with a practical, hands-on approach to optics. I've worked in applied optics for a long time, in industry, in academic environments, and at several major astronomical observatories. My work experience includes: equipment design, fabrication, integration, calibration, and documentation. My strongest areas of expertise are in creating new instrumentation for large telescopes, optics manufacturing, and doing on-site optical alignment and tooling work. I also worked as a manufacturing engineer. I now own a consulting company, "Distasio Optical Documentation". We provide website content management and create technical documents related to optical systems. I write technical documents about telescopes and other optical equipment. I'm currently writing a non-fiction book and also developing new optical tooling equipment.
