About Us
Hi! We're Rick and Mei-O (pronounced Mayo, appropriately enough, just like the Mayo Clinic) Shabsin from Rochester, Minnesota (home of the Mayo Clinic). We maintain this web site just for fun, using only a simple editor, a couple of graphics programs, a digital camera, and a scanner.

Mei-O and I have have lived in Rochester since January of 1984 when I came here to work for IBM as a software engineer. Before that, we lived in Warren, Ohio where, after I got fired from my job as an air traffic controller by Ronnie Reagan for participating in the air traffic controllers' strike in August of 1981, I attended school at Youngstown State University, earning a B.S. in Mathematics with a Computer Science minor in December, 1983. We have one son, Chris, who lives in the Boston area, having graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology with a degree in Computer Science and Engineering in 1995.

What We Do
I currently work for Celestica Corp., a global technology services company headquartered in Toronto, Canada as a consulting software engineer for IBM here in Rochester.

Mei-O works in Student Nutrition Services at Sunset Terrace Elementary School for the Rochester Public School District.

Chris, too, is a software engineer, currently working for Google in Cambridge, Massachusetts!
