What I've Been Up To

I spent a couple years after graduating Princeton, in the Peace Corps, primarily working in Southern Chile and Northern Mongolia. Met some very nice people. "Click....click.click....clickclickclick" (That is a shout out to Bopomo, a native whom I taught how to play the pan flute and became friends with).

After returning to the states, I served briefly as Secretary of the Interior for the great state of Idaho. I served the the last year of the term vacated by the Honorable Gregory Franklin, who was chosen as the US Ambassador to the Principality of Sealand.

Microsoft then made me a offer that I could not refuse. So I worked with Bill, primarily spearheading the Doors 95 Operating system. After I left, Bill phoned me and asked if renaming the operating system to Windows 95 would be OK with me.

After a brief vacation I began to tour the Universities speaking about my experiences with the Mentally Challenged in Chile and how I came about the cure for Post-micturition convulsion syndrome.

I received an Honorary Doctorate from Harvard, thanks to my publication in the "New England Journal of Medicine" titled, "Exporatory Reasoning into the Human Male's 40 something Memory Loss". Which I based on a intensive study of 1801 men at Cambridge University and in the Boston suburbs.

I next spent some time working in my homeshop and invented a compact disk that holds 18GB of data, primary video. I sold the prototype, which I called an AVD(Advanced Video Disk) to Phillips which has since renamed it "DVD" and has had success thus far in the market. I continued working to improve the AVD quality even after licensing it to Phillips, using a blue laser. This technology vastly improved the AVD quality, and was licensed to Sony to be marketed at "blueray".

While working on the AVD, I wrote two techno-thriller Novels, MetroWeb and Future-Today, both of which are published through Waterhouse in London.

I now spend my time writing in my journal tinkering with new ideas. One of my latest endeavors is a non-nuclear cereal varnish, that will seal in a cereal's crunch, as well as lubricate snow saucer bottoms.

(True) Facts About Me (in no particular order):

1. I remember everything...I mean EVERYTHING!!!

6. The Whiteboard is one of the greatest inventions ever!! I love brainstorming.
7. I think humans are the dirtiest animals to roam Earth...only we mess our own nest.
8. I believe we will never break our dependence on fossil fuels until we run out. Go ahead...by a Hummer dumb ass, it just speeds up the inevitable

10. If I didn't live here, I'd live in Colorado
11. I do not talk on a cell phone in a resturant and I want to shove the phones down the throat of those that do, expecially the Nextels.
