I was signing up for a new YouTube account to
support a forthcoming video/blog project (we’ll have announcements about it soon) when I

I was interested in learning more about desired video formats and, in particular HD

I'm a
technologist at heart, assisting companies best utilize the Internet to
market themselves and sell their products and services online. This
includes organizations as large as Google and as small as one or two
individuals.
At Over The Top and Exhibit A Communications, I've
programmed solutions for Google as well as at least one other company
that was later acquired by Google.
I've been CTO of an
Internet SaaS company and spent my time pretty evenly between guiding
the future technical strategy of the company, architecting software
solutions for my dev teams, designing and running a data center to
service our clients world-wide as well as being a technical
evangalist/sales engineer to our media clients large and small.
I've also been Chief Photographer of the Daily Sun/Post
newspaper back when it was a 5-day a week daily newspaper.
I
also spent a great many years as a beach lifeguardfor the City of San
Clemente as well as Jr. Lifeguard instructor and then as it's program
coordinator.
