Traveling. Pictures are slowly appearing here.
Other occasional updates will go here.
I volunteered at a local middle school, helping them improve their GNU/Linux lab.
I developed the real-time lighting component of the Industrial Light & Magic Zviz previz system. You can read a bit about it here.
I also worked with Lucasarts on real-time lighting and material systems for use both in Lucasarts's new game engines and in ILM's 3D animation system. You can read a little about that work here and judge for yourself in Lucasarts's The Force Unleashed.
Prior to those projects, I worked at ILM mainly on real-time multimedia playback and image processing, and did a small amount of Linux kernel hacking.
I was a microprocessor architect at Intel, working on the Intel/HP Itanium architecture.
My personal wiki: projects, notes, how-to's, etc.
I maintained the OpenEXR free software project from its initial release in 2003 until 2006. I'm no longer actively involved in the project.
A couple of film credits.
I was an (uncredited) extra in the Outlander Club scene in Star Wars Episode II. I didn't get my own action figure, sadly.
My key is available on most public servers. I have older keys that have expired or been revoked, so use this one:
