CB'S HOMEPAGE

Welcome to my Home Page. I believe that our websites should present things we do or find.
Presented here: Articles I have written, tunes I have played, interesting links.
Most things on this site can be downloaded (but please check Terms And Conditions here!)

"A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects." :- Robert A Heinlein

Engineering

Most kids stop playing on growing up but not me.

As a COMPUTER MODELING guy, not only do I still get to play with cyberspace building blocks (!), but have also had the privilege of being Architect at two Silicon Valley "startup" companies (1998-2000 and 2003-2005).

If you share my interests in Simulation, Software Productivity, or Personal Automation, join me here.

Writing

Fate can decree we get published by accident!

I first wrote this article on the left (published in - and copyrighted by - India's Economic Times) in 2006 for another publication.

Like some of you I love to write - and I do get published - and not always by accident!.And again, like some of you, I write on a range of topics, but especially enjoy writing on Personal Automation, Education, and Really Bad Puns! More here

"Green" Models, anyone?

Of course, we all need to fight Global Warming with our light switches, water taps, accelerator pedals.

But a few of us can do more.

If you are interested in computer modeling of "green" technologies - batteries, solar cells - I wrote some software back in '05 that may interest you.

A "toolkit" that makes it easy to CREATE (and to hook up) such models, I would like to make it available on this site to developers free of charge. But some fixes need to done first - details here - and I do not have the time. Please email me to let me know you are interested by clicking here (opens in new window). (You must be fluent in C++).
