What are we?


A retired couple who love to learn and make things real and imagined. Between us our interests are varied and this page serves as home port to all of it. This company is our retirement project, exploring different ways to follow our interests.


The Geek

Many years spent in the IT industry supporting databases, analysing the data within and writing about it. Retirement brought a desire to expand his other interests and examine peculiar aspects of the world on his own terms. That includes writing, photography, experimenting with electronics and exploring the natural world around him.


The Thinker

A lifetime of contemplating our place on Earth following a formal education in drafting, geography, and biology. These interests inform our thinker in her exploration of the patterns found in society and the environment and our place within it.


OFH Research

So it stands for "Old Folks Home", a term that has gone out of fashion but resonates with the boomer geek who came up with it. We explore things that pique our curiosity and align with what we like, what we know and what we want to learn. By examining questions that intrigue us, we aim to keep learning and growing as human beings. This is our exploration of retirement by creating our own supportive environment.
