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.

I have currently bricked a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SheevaPlug|SheevaPlug]] and have hurriedly repurposed my [[http://www.digikey.com/product-highlights/us/en/texas-instruments-beagleboard/685|BeagleBoard-xM]] to bridge the gap. My [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokia_e71x|my old-timey Nokia smartphone]] is dead and [[http://reviews.cnet.com/smartphones/nokia-2720-fold-blue/4505-6452_7-33896908.html|an old flip phone]] is being utilized with Twitter SMS and my e-mail being bounced on occasion to the phone via the magic on an MMS gateway. 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. No, I cannot really say I have a ton of working equipment at the moment.

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.

Equipment donations via [[http://amzn.com/w/35SWMCWPMXDJE|this configured Amazon wishlist]] are graciously accepted in this time of cutbacks and continuing equipment failures. As I am not currently gainfully employed, anything received is gratefully apreciated with a cheerful heart.

I have been [[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Membership|an Ubuntu Member]] since March 15, 2012.
I am called many things. Lately people call me "professor" as I seem to wind up in classrooms teaching about computer and information systems. You’ll need to make your own decision as to what/who I am.
