Welcome to everyday adventures in my business life, including thoughts and feelings about a world within which all things are connected. This QUEST is a JOURNEY to share knowledge, a JUNKET to share enjoyment, and often times simply an OUTING among old friends and new acquaintances.
To Myers-Briggs I'm an INTJ on the cusp of an E. A war-orphan, I was raised an only child by my mother. Born into a family of engineers and inventors, I naturally gravitated to engineering; model railroading at age 5. By the time I left high school the railroad was well automated (back when mechanical relays and vacuum tubes prevailed.) Home was Gary, Indiana and while attending Purdue University I majored in Electrical Engineering, worked part-time and summers as a motor inspector at the Inland Steel 80" Hot Strip, where I found the air conditioning requirement of early automation equipment to be personally beneficial. I joined the DuPont Corporation as a Design Engineer and moved to Waynesboro, VA. (where in 1969 I automated the 1929 Acetate Chemical process using a Digital Equipment PDP 8E computer supervising five PDP14 industrial controllers -- the computer was programmed using a Teletype machine and paper tape!) I also had the pleasure of an assignment in Londonderry NI in 1973 followed by a move to Charleston, SC in 1976 to construct a fully automated polyester fiber facility (complete with industrial robots). But enough about me...

Thank you for you comment Kristen. I really do appreciate all the questions as you're all helping me keep focus. I've enjoyed our working together on the project.
I appreciate your comment Courtney. It is very helpful to me to participate with a live audience with whom I can safely communicate and test ideas. And, I might add, it is also wonderful to have your photos posted with the comments, because for me this becomes a conversation rather than a disembodied post. You have been a marvelous resource, above and beyond the scope of the project itself. Thanks again!
I'm happy the FAQ page worked for you Patrick -- it was an experiment and I just "borrowed" the HTML from another FAQ I found on the web that looked like it might be a good fit.
I agree fully with your desire for more "face" time and I wished that could have been arranged. I was open to the possibility. Unfortunately, the course schedule was too tight and Anu could not find space for another meeting with the entire class. As mentioned during my presentation, I pledged that I would make myself as available as possible to anyone who made a request of me.
I wish you the very best future. It's been fun participating in the course with you.
