I Don't Like Spam!
Email that contains the string "WxService" in the subject line goes in my "Known Contacts" folder. Messages that are
not in that folder are likely to be deleted without a second glance. Consider yourself warned.
Other strings that will work: "WxMonitor" and "ow4j".

It is a Cold Easter This Year
I think the hypothesis that global warming is man-made, and that it will increase without bound to cataclysmic proportions,
is untestable, unscientific, mind-numbingly idiotic speculation.
However, please do not confuse the weather with the climate. A cold Easter does not disprove GW any more than a record
heat wave proves it. The proof of climate change will be more like when Illinois orange production surpasses Florida orange
production.
We may very well be in a natural global warming cycle (or exiting a cooling cycle), as was the case throughout the planet's
history, without any help from we humans. Here's a hint: Check old Sol for clues.

WxService Update Available
- WxService and WxMonitor ow4j070407
- Added per-user settings for precipitation reset. This allows different users running WxMonitor on the same machine to
reset precipitation at different times, and WxMonitor will record the correct rainfall accumulation following the reset.

Welcome!
This site is dedicated to my interest in engineering. I use it as a place to just put stuff "out there" for anyone who
might be interested, as well as a job search tool. This page contains my engineering web log (to your left). Anything that
seems timeless enough, or too involved for a log entry may get it's own page as a full-blown article. And, of course, my resume
is here for anyone who might be considering hiring me to do something. Email me.
About Me
I have worked as a broadcast engineer, electronics designer (analog and digital) and software developer. I especially
enjoy audio engineering, although I've been writing software for the last several years, since that's where the opportunities
are in the Pacific Northwest (this is Microsoft country after all). I'm currently working as a Senior Staff Engineer -- Resume at another large independent software vendor in Washington State.
I majored in mathematics and physics in college. Other interests include music appreciation (baroque, classical and early
romantic, ragtime, and 60's and 70's rock & roll), high fidelity audio electronics, meteorology and of course, computing
hardware and software. I tend to think a lot like this guy.
