Welcome to Cool-Man!

Life is like a box of chocolates.  If you're smart you get what you want, unlike those morons who buy the "assorted" collections of random junk.

"It seemed that every time we were beginning to form into teams,
we would be re-organised.

I was to learn later in life that we tend to meet any new situation
by re-organising; and a wonderful method it can be for creating the
illusion of progress while producing confusion, inefficiency and
demoralisation..."

Gaius Petronius, 210BC
Brilliance is the talent of recognizing the very good luck of one's fumbled experiment.

Work-related:  My resume is here.  I'm currently working at IMPAC.  We went IPO on 11/20/2002.  We were acquired by Elekta in 2005 (we're still IMPAC though).  You can see a parting picture of the Geyser EMS team here.

Check out my Fortune Cookie Page.  I used to have a Java applet (which I wrote) to put together fortunes (complete with the "In Bed" on the end), but I haven't had the time to maintain it.  Maybe I'll get around to it at some point and you'll be able to generate fortune cookies with it again.  It could probably be easily rewritten in Javascript, when I get around to it.  I did rewrite it as a little Java CORBA client and server, with an XML version of the fortune cookies file.

Please visit The Pittsburgh Anti-Culture Page and The California Anti-Culture Page.  I need to get one for Colorado now...  Also, check out The Code Warrior for kicks.

Recent project:  LookCool, a image browser in .NET.  Find it here.

What would any of us be without friends?  So to give credit to friends, here are some people I know (many of whom are actually friends).

I have an out-of-date set of pages for my son Cade, born on October 19th, 2003.  Hopefully I can get this into better shape soon...

I have a wonderful cat named Gremlin who I plan to keep past the divorce.  For the time being, I also have another cat Timmy and a third, Max.

Need to contact me?  Here's how.
