| Beyond that recent change in role I serve as 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)-- ''one hundred'' 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 bricked a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SheevaPlug|SheevaPlug]] and repurposed my [[http://www.digikey.com/product-highlights/us/en/texas-instruments-beagleboard/685|BeagleBoard-xM]] to bridge the gap fulfilling desktop and server roles. My [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokia_e71x|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 my e-mail being bounced on occasion to the phone via the magic of 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 consistently 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 desktop with some server functions. There is a Raspberry Pi that initially served as a general purpose server but has been redirected to running [[http://packages.debian.org/mediatomb|MediaTomb]] as part of an in-home project. 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. Materiel 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 appreciated with a cheerful heart. I plan to resume studies but that is uncertain at this time as to how it may proceed. Work-wise I am a trained cataloging librarian and have served at academic libraries. My most recent service was at the American Samoa Community College where I was second-in-command of the institution's library while styled Cataloger. 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. |

About Me
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.
