Designed and implemented a Linux-based scriptable interface to a Nortek Vector velocimeter (3D water current measurement device) - VectorControl

Projects currently under way:

Unrelated to my work for the UW, on behalf of my family and everyone else trying to sort out fact from myth about the Seattle Public Schools school-assignment system, in February 2007 I applied my skills as a software engineer to find out and report:

The REAL truth about Seattle Public Schools Kindergarten assignments.

Some miscellaneous little stuff is collected on the Cybermato Miscellany page.

And I've done other random stuff that isn't really interesting enough to list here, or which was long enough ago that I don't really remember it.
