Timothy A. Sandstrom

(a.k.a. Blute, Storm, Hay Yew...)

My name is Tim, and this is my page where you'll find some examples of the work I've done and continue to do for NASA. BTW: you can call me Blute, though my best friends call me Storm. My interests are in the areas of: Graphics, Math/Geometry, Scientific Visualization, Earth science, Astronomy/Space, Photography, Geology, Music, Blues Guitar, and Photography.

btw - I was almost famous once by standing in front of the hyperwall
