What's New
How To Live Healthfully
My current activities include kayaking both in New Jersey and
in
the San Juan Islands (Washington State) especially near Whidbey Island.
See some of my Kayak Logs (klogs).
I have a 14 foot Necky in NJ and a 18 foot Eddyline Falcon S18 in
Washington.
I also bike in NJ and Whidbey. I have a road bike in NJ and a
cyclo-cross bike on Whidbey (suitable for pavement or dirt roads).

- The background for this page was done by my daughter Katherine.
- The photo is of me on my Trek 1420.
- "tla
before the trim" is several winters ago. It grew from about
Holloween to First day of Spring. My wife won't let me grow it that
long again. "before
the haircut" is actually Tom Baker, Doctor #4 from Dr. Who.
- CyberHome
- I primarily live on a Dell Studio 9100 with a quad-core i7
running Windows 7. When I travel on business I live on a Dell
Latitude E6400, otherwise I make do with a Acer Aspire One netbook.
Sometimes I travel very light and live only on a Droid 2 and a Xoom
pad. I also live on these when my body lives at my west coast house on
Whidbey Island where I stay connected using a 0.5 mile
WiFi backhaul link to a friends house (two dishes running 802.11G with
Super G Turbo
for a 108 Mbps connection).
When at home I use an HP C6380, a Panasonic GF1 digital camera
(14-45 mm zoom and 45-200 mm zoom - each equivalent to double that
compared to 35mm lenses), a Sony CyberShot DSC-W120 (when I want to be
lighter weight) and a Minolta
DiMAGE Scan Dual III (AF-2840) film scanner. My wife, Jan, uses a
Dell Inspiron and everything is networked together by ethernet or
Lincsys N wireless network. Finally it is connected to the
Internet through firewall/router and Verizon FIOS (fiber to the home)
(ab out 10 Mbit/sec).

Biography
I am currently a Staff Scientist at ITT Industries. I am a
software engineer working on wireless radio networks carrying voice,
data and other media streams.
From 1986 through 2002 worked at Lucent Technologies (previously
AT&T),
most recently working on on IP Telephony (aka Voice over IP or Internet
Telephony). I am a Rapporteur in Study Group 16 of the
International Telecommunications Union where I am responsible for
several standards documents relating to internet
telephony. But in the fall of 2002 I was "downsided" along with my
entire
project so am currently looking for a new home for my work. I have
previously
worked on application generators, simulation and modeling, performance
modeling
and measurement, programming tools, documentation management tools
(e.g.,
add-on to FrameMaker and MS Word), and software architecture
consulting.
Prior to 1986, to that I taught Physics and Computer Science at
Walla
Walla
College, in College Pace, WA, where I helped to create the Computer
Science
department. I have a PhD in Theoretical Physics with emphasis in
Relativistic
Astrophysics.
I have a wife, and one daughter, Katherine, a graduate of Dartmouth
College and currently teaching middle school English.
When not adding to this website, surfing the web or working on
wireless communications, I am often riding the hills of western NJ
on my bicycle (a Trek 1420, shown above) or kayaking.
