Hunger Pangs is a military science fiction novel that I wrote.

CourageVow.com is another website I created.

In October 2004, I attended Viable Paradise, a science fiction and fantasy writers workshop. It was very cool, well worth the time and money. I liked it so much, I attended it again in October 2006. I highly recommend it to any science fiction and fantasy writers out there.

While working as an electrical engineer, I discovered a most useful programming language called Perl. I ended up buying and reading a multitude of books to learn the language and still had to find some Perl experts to ask them questions from time to time. At a point where I finally felt like I had some mastery over the language, I decided to write a Perl training manual for someone who needed to learn perl but didn't want to purchase a library of books. "Impatient Perl" is the result of that work. You can read/download the entire document for free. I also offer a paperback version if you'd like something nicely bound and readable.

I wrote a document about Open Source and Copyright Law. It's pretty rough, and needs a rewrite, but it's got some interesting bits in it. My favorite is probably the diagram called "The Limit of Public Good Regarding Intellectual Property Law". I think it puts a number of laws and practices into a single, objective perspective. It's in section 2.8 if you're interested. I should probably come up with a graphic icon for it as well, but I haven't just yet. Maybe during the rewrite.
