Eventually this page will be used for me to speak in-depth about the various technologies I am exposed to.  As an introduction, I'll start by describing just a few...

I'm surrounded by high tech.  I am extremely thankful to be working for DynCorp as a Computer Programmer/Analyst.  The nature of my job lends itself to matrix-management, but I could not ask for two better bosses.  One allows me to work with pioneering technology in wearable computers, while the other allows me to write cutting-edge code for networked environments.

Pictured on the upper left is my Casio Cassiopeia E-115 Pocket PC.  It runs Windows CE 3.0 and has 32MB of internal memory.  It has a Type I/Type II CompactFlash slot which I use for my 48MB CompactFlash storage card when not using the Pretec 56K CompactFlash modem.

Pictured on the upper right is the Xybernaut MA-IV wearable computer which I develop for and support.  It is comprised of a Pentium II 233MHz processor with 128MB of RAM and 6.4GB hard drive.  The rechargeable lithium-ion battery is good for 4 hours.  You wear both the CPU and battery on the belt, while the keyboard is worn about the arm.  The monitor is a "Heads Up Display" projected on a mirror in front of the eye.  Running Windows 98, NT, or Linux, it is a powerful machine for the mobile professional.  The total weight of CPU, battery, and headset is only 4 pounds!  

Pictured on the lower left is my Olympus D-500L digital camera.  It is able to take pictures at three different resolutions and save them as .JPGs to a SmartMedia card.  Standard Quality (640x480) saves 400 jpgs to a single 32MB SmartMedia card, while High Quality (800x600) saves 200 jpgs to the same card, and Super Quality (1024x768) saves 60 jpgs to a card.  While it doesn't have a digital zoom, it does have a 3x optical zoom and allow for SLR camera lenses to be used.

Finally, pictured on the lower right is the "Heads Up Display" for the Xybernaut MA-IV wearable computer.  It has a 640x480 LCD projection onto a semi-opaque mirror.  While the resolution is limited to 640x480, you can display images in 32-bit color.  The headset also has a microphone for voice Command-and-Control or Dictation, and a video camera for a live video feed to the CPU.
