Maps and Geology
I was fascinated with maps at a very young age — I think I read maps before I read books. That led me to study geology in college and grad school. For a time I combined geology and programming with my Seismic Plugin software. Though I'm no longer a professional geologist, I maintain my interest in geography and geology.
