I am the Head Writer at [[http://erielookingproductions.info|Erie Looking Productions]] and present ''[[http://ohio.ubuntu-us.org/burningcircle|The Burning Circle]]'', the podcast of the [[OhioTeam|Ohio LoCo Team]]. The podcast now has over sixty episodes and has been active for over a calendar year. Outside the Ubuntu realm I have presented since December 2007 ''[[http://www.lisnews.org/podcast|LISTen: An LISNews.org Podcast]]'' which deals with more general issues in the realm of library and information science.

The hand-me-down desktop that previously was in use running [[http://www.vectorlinux.com/|VectorLinux]] Light 7.0 has been put into storage due to power budget issues involving a month-on-month tripling of kilowatt-hour usage.

Right now my netbook serves up what it can and travels with me. The [[http://www.digikey.com/product-highlights/us/en/texas-instruments-beagleboard/685|BeagleBoard-xM]] is functioning as a server. Currently I am looking to acquire another low-power ARM board to act as a desktop due to current power budget restrictions in force. An Arudino has been purchased by a benefactor which will allow some work in experimentation along the lines of building perhaps a timebase focusing on [[http://www.nist.gov/pml/div688/grp40/wwv.cfm|WWV/WWVH]] or some other project that comes to mind with what junkbox parts I do have on-hand.
