While it doth not yet appear what we shall be, we hope for increasingly
refined and beautiful features as we continue to learn and evolve.
As a brief introduction to me and mine, here are a few references and graphics:
- Family
- A Picture of my siblings and me.
(21K) We have a wonderful mom, too. Maybe we'll get her in the next picture.
- More pictures of nieces, nephews,
mom, self, etc. in my little on-line photo album.
I've created a site for the Seattle
gang, which we will all work on enhancing over time.
- Personal Web Stuff
- The Blog of my trip to Romania/Hungary/Slovakia with nephew Michael
- My exciting new TruthSquad site
- My home-brew Blogging Site
- My passwords
- My contacts
- Recent Additions
- My dementor act at local Harry Potter Book 6 release party
- Work
- For many years I worked at the Xerox
Palo Alto Research Center. After some years, I found myself working
on the LiveBoard, a computer with a huge display, for group interaction.
Eventually "MotherX" decided (most uncharacteristically) to
turn our little project into an actual product. Thus was formed LiveWorks,
Inc, where I toiled happily until StepmotherX decided she was tired of
losing money on us. We were "transitioned to closure", but the
engineering team was invited to stay intact and start up a new venture
capitalizing on Xerox display technology and research into document usage.
Thus was formed Uppercase, Inc,
designers and implementers of the eCase, a prototype "tablet computer"
or "digital briefcase," where I enjoyed plenty of opportunities
for productive labor as "Manager, Application Development" until
Xerox (having grossly mismanaged its core business and needing a quick
fix for the Q4-99 bottom line) decided to indulge again its prediliction
to fumble the future by selling our assets (quite prematurely) to Microsoft.
So Uppercase is going away, and I get to look for the next exciting adventure.
So I've prepared an actual resume for the first
time in my life.

Send me a
