Computer & Technological Projects

Computers and technology are my chief area of expertise. I received my first computer in 1983: a Commodore 64. I am currently a web and software designer for the Michigan State University College of Osteopathic Medicine. I still have my original C64.


Web Design & Application Development Primarily, I work for the College of Osteopathic Medicine at Michigan State University, in the postgraduate medical education division known as the Statewide Campus System. Chiefly, I have designed and continue to maintain the SCS websites. They're mostly HTML & CSS, with some PHP thrown in when appropriate. I also develop & support applications for eLogs: a PDA-based Housestaff patient encounter logging system. eLogs revolves primarily around Pendragon Forms, and I have written a great number of applications that extend the usability of the Pendragon system. These extensions are written chiefly in Coldfusion and PHP. Naturally, I designed the website, and even the eLogs logo. I have also designed and developed Coldfusion Reports that Interns, Residents, and their local hospital administrators and view and print. Once in a while, I moonlight and do some web design or consulting. Sometimes doing simple updates, sometimes providing full-blown eCommerce solutions.

Learning Module Design / Programming Mostly assembled in Macromedia Director, these are self-directed learning modules that feature specific procedures in Osteopathic medicine. All of these modules have been released on CD, and are available online to SCS member institutions. For both modules, I did all of the programming, graphic design, and CD artwork. In future modules, I will also do the video production.	Osteopathic Musculoskeletal Exam for the Hospitalized Patient	Osteopathic Treatment of the Postoperative Laparotomy Patient

Writing & Publishing	I wrote 2 "Hacks" for O'Reilly's Retro Gaming Hacks covering homebrew video games - one on creating cartridges, and one on creating packaging.
	I contributed screenshots for Digital Press Collector's Guide Advance. They were principally for the Memorex VIS, a fairly obscure game system which had no previously existing screenshot library.

Systems Administration	Old-school RevRDist control files & theory. Not usable under OSX, but if you've got a lab of older Macs, this is still quite handy.
