Interex

I hava been writing for Interex, The International Association of Hewlett-Packard Computing Professionals, since January 1995. My work included two columns and a number of feature stories. For the Interexpress I wrote a monthly column, Opportunity Knocks, that focused on current events within the Hewlett-Packard and PC computing community.

September 1995 saw the launch of my second column, Building Blocks, focused on explaining briefly the basics of key technologies or information management issues. That column was  replaced with a newer one, Taming the Net, focused on exploring the world of the Internet from the perspective of an HP 3000 site.

In addition to the columns, I have published a number of management and feature articles. The following list of articles, from the Interex site, have been published on the Internet, and were in the public domain until January 1, 1998. Now all of these articles are available only to Interex members.

Scuba Diving

My thanks to PADI for publishing my article about the Scuba and Snorkeling activity center at the 1997 Boy Scout National Jamboree.

Sport Diver opted not to publish the following contracted work. Rather than let it go to waste, take a moment to see what a wonderful place Key West can be for both diving and a general vacation, follow me!

On a second note, I was injured on this drive trip - first dive injury in 20 years. I have written a small piece about the experience - please take a moment to read it and use my experience as a reminder to keep your diving safe.
