First Post and stuff

Hi internet people. This is my first post. Let me introduce myself.   

Firstly, I’m new to this blockchain thing, but a big fan. Right now I’m broadcasting a message around the world, almost instantly, without needing any central computer of server to hold this information. That’s cool and I’m  pretty excited to see where this technology leads.  So I’m planning to stick around and contribute where I can. To start off with I’ve got a few little inventions that I might post with some more details later.  

I made this.


and this

and this clock. It has dials that count up to 100 years (turns really slowly). 


As an engineer, I enjoy design and innovation. I believe in doing things differently and in making stuff myself to develop personal skills for life. If that's what you’re into then follow along because I have plans for plenty of cool stuff to try out.

I’m an Australian guy, living in Australia, married with one kid. I’ve spent over 12 years of my childhood living in the Philippines where my parents continue to work as missionaries. This was an awesome experience and contributes a heap to who I am today. 

More to come.

Awesome creations @bengineering!

Where in the Philippines did you live? I am living in Cebu for the past 5 years now.

Hi Rob. Thanks.
We moved around a bit but mostly at Malaybalay city (Mindanao)

Nice :) Any plans to come back and visit? You did mention your family still lives here.

Hi, welcome on board.

If all goes well, I should be in Australia soon, for a month long work project :) following you now.

Hi bengineering welcome to steemit!!! This community is awesome and a good source to learn about cryptos. Stay and have fun!!!

I dig the clock, sweeet!

Welcome bengineering, I hope you enjoy it here! This is a great place for a multitude of reasons; I’m sure you’ll find plenty of your own.

I am going to follow you and ask that in return you follow me. But take note, this type of following is almost a moot point. After all, wouldn’t you rather be following people with similar interests? OR following people whom are like minded?

Just my two cents, but welcome all the same. At my site, @carltong; I have blogs on scams, easy to use faucets, and more. I don’t link to any of these in this letter, because I want to genuinely welcome you to Steemit. It’s that great an invention, lol.

Here is my best advice for you:

”If it seems too good to be true, then it’s NOT true.”

I lost over $1000 at BitcoinsBrain, and almost got taken by FexFund; I was given this advice once; “be nice to everyone and don’t trust anyone”.

Whatever the case, WELCOME HERE. Say hi once in a while and I’ll try to do the same.

Enjoy,
@carltong
