About: I write code, I tell stories, I make things to help remind me of who I am. I've worked professionally with computers since 1982.
My current obsession is in trying to automate mindfulness. Lots of location and mapping goes into that.
I've been drinking the Ruby and RoR kookaid.
I cowrote Google Maps Hacks and Mapping Hacks
Here is an older description, not false, just not all true:
Rich Gibson is a Perl/Database programmer in Santa Rosa. He has worked professionally with computers since 1982 when he created Public Utility Rate Case Models in SuperCalc on an Osborne II. While the technology has changed, his fascination with using finger muscle power to control electrical impulses has not.
His current fascination is creating tools to aid in the acquistion, management, and presentation of information with a geographic component. He is currently converting an old golf cart into a mobile geo annoation platform.
