• My current CV in PDF format, or a detailed ascii text-format resume, and a short bio (an old overview of my experience and interests).
  GPG Key fingerprint = 44EE F84F 86F8 733C 9BB0 2377 605E C01F 47D4 6D61
• Thesis - "Atmospheric Resonance Waves Over the Sea of Cortes: An Experimental Case Study" (1990) S. L. Arnold (PDF, fair quality scan). -- Abstract, Part 1 of 2, and Part 2 of 2
• My geography course info - advance info for the new meteorology course, as well as both physical and human geography.
• Locally-hosted software packages that I maintain, mostly to keep them current with respect to recent toolchain updates, but also to host the GNU release of Winds on Critical Streamline Surfaces (GWOCSS).

Papers and Presentations:

• Hypergol Paper - Physical & Thermodynamic Properties of Hypergolic Propellants: A Review and Update, presented at the JANNAF PD&CS meeting (1999, PDF format).
• AMS 2002 abstract - A Minimum Variance Approach To Estimating Wind Direction Statistics (2001, PDF format).
• AMS 2005 abstract 1 - The Meteorological And Range Safety Support (MARSS) System: a GIS-based Tool for Launch Area Hazard Prediction and Visualization (2004, PDF format).
• AMS 2005 abstract 2 - Open Source Technologies in Science Education: What's Your Geek IQ? (2004, PDF format).
• AMS 2005 slides - Open Source Technologies in Science Education: What's Your Geek IQ? (2004, PDF format). This talk was even recorded for posterity here (just lucky, I guess...)
• AMS 2008 poster - Incorporating the AMS Online Weather Studies Resources In the Design of a New Meteorology Course (2008, PDF format).
• GEM IT Review (summer 2010) - I was one of the invited reviewers for the Global Earthquake Model Open Source IT Review, where I ended up being the editor as well as one of the coauthors of the resulting review report (see the GEM web site for the summary report and description)

More Software and Hardware Stuff:

• There are a handful of locally hosted software packages discussed on the software page.
• Read about more free software for both scientists and students, or some other software packages that I've worked on - Gentoo ebuilds and (old) RPMS. (my recent Gentoo CVS commit stats)
• Hardware and Software hints - Some hints for various pieces of hardware with Linux and free software apps.
• My local SVN Repository - Locally hosted packages, snippets of code, and small programs I've written or collected, including some decent examples of Ada, Python, C, etc. See some example docs for the median filter code.
• My local Gentoo portage overlay - Working copies of ebuilds, both experimental and mainstream. Some are older or overcome by updated versions, but newer ones should be fine (both new as in date and new as in version numbers).
• My Gentoo page - Gentoo presentation slides and some LWE 2004 movie clips

Netcdf spec file for jbj:

• Netcdf spec file - hacked to build with optional pgf90 support and f90 interface.

Music downloads:

• The Wyrd - MP3s of my old weird progressive band from college (originally started as three graduate-student ethnomusicologists and one geophysics major, then we got Craig the drummer :) See Craig's artwork here if you dare; not responsible for content...

• Feedback Form - Use this email form to send me a message (I'm trying to minimize SPAM).

This is most of my publicly available work product, other than my resume and the Gentoo project artifacts, pretty much just a handful of conference presentations, papers, and a poster. Most of the real content, both old and new, is available from the root page and topic menus of this server. The old apache server content has been retired.
