Greetings. Here's what I've been up to.
Things I've Done
I'm a member of the
Carpinteria Planning Commission
.
I previously served on the boards of directors of the
Citizens for the Carpinteria Bluffs
and the
Carpinteria Valley Association
.
I've started writing about Carpinteria at
Carp Without Cars
.
One day during a particularly manic phase I spawned
lies.com
.
Dedicated stalkers can find things I've done at
YouTube
,
twitter
,
tumblr
,
google+
, and the
lies.com podcasts
.
I created
askmebetter.com
.
I'm a bird-watcher, and am user 'elanus' on the
CONE Welder birdcam
. More about that at the
Networked Bird Observatory Blog
.
I'm the author of the book
Perl for Web Site Management
.
I helped create
Carpinteria Valley Leaders
and
Lindenavenue.com
, Main Elementary School's entries in the International CyberFair 2000 and 2001 contests, respectively.
The
Amateur Astronomy Observers Log
lets you share your observations with the rest of the planet.
The
Beginner's Guide to CGI Scripting with Perl
is a basic tutorial that assumes no prior programming or Unix knowledge.
I created the
SoCalSail
web site.
For my day job I work as a programmer at
CampusExplorer.com
.
