Subject: [xri] VERY short intro
In the interest of reducing signal-to-noise let me briefly run down my background. Undergrad Computer Science degree from UC San Diego (after an unhappy first year at Carnegie Mellon), JD (law degree) from UC Berkeley's Boalt Hall. I am interested in public policy regarding the computers, Internet, intellectual property, privacy, etc. Never practiced law. Worked as a software engineer/architect/sysadmin/network engineer at a number of small startups (which is my specialty, you might say) - most notably Findlaw (first non-founder employee at the legal portal), Airflash (location based services), ISharp (now defunct). Also: Bigbook, Ventro, and several others. I would note that none of these companies are still around as independent surviving businesses. If they say failure is the best education, then I've had a great Silicon Valley education! Been working with Visa Intl for a little under 2 years now, in Dave Wentker's Applied Research group. I also participate in a number of with Open Source projects, and have participated in other standards efforts, including IETF's BEEP (RFC 3080/3081) and APEX working groups. I tend to keep myself logged into IRC most of the day as GabeW on FreeNode (irc.freenode.net where you will find many open standards and open source folks). If anyone would like a crash course on using IRC as a realtime communications tool, please let me know. -Gabe
