Library and Information Science

In August 2005, I  received my Master's in Library Science (MLS). Many of the photos on this page were taken in May 2005 during a  Library Operation and Automation Study Abroad Experience in exotic Thailand.  I'm currently looking for employment in an academic  library, a law library or other areas that require skills with CMSs.

Content Management Systems (CMS)

What's a CMS? Blogs, wikis, learning management, organizational websites - many built with open source tools like Linux, PHP, MySQL and Perl.  
This site is my web presence and CMS testbed. These are my experiments with MediaWiki, CivicSpace and Wordpress using Cascading Style Sheets and some Photoshopped images. Please visit some of the sites I've created - Dallas Peace Center. musician Joe Pipps, and North Texas Renewable Energy, Inc. If you see something you like, let me know.
