Production of The Bonesmen's debut CD 

"Skin and Bones"

My participation included:

- Brainstorming and creating a hidden "track 0" which could only be played by "rewinding" past the beginning of track 1 on standard CD players 

- Helping research the 3 varieties of copyright application to music; and getting advice from Chris Franz of The Talking Heads and The Tom Tom Club

- For the first couple years, I got to play "guitar tech" for Frank at their live gigs

These were/are not "my" projects. They are the projects of friends, from Junior Achievement (just because we can) to commercial, that I have gotten to contribute to in some small part. No money, but often more "credit" than I truly deserved. All were fun. And I'm proud to be a part of what was accomplished, with so little, in each of them.

For fun

Health care for the homeless
Now provided on site 1-2 days a week at Stamford CT area shelters

While I was System Administrator for the southwest CT HMIS HUD initiative, I was also asked to help with 2 other federally funded projects. The pilot team for the "roving" health care clinic now operated by Optimus, asked me to assist with software selection and data integration, linking and portability. This was done to minimize having to ask clients to answer the same questions for the health care clinic they had already provided the shelter and to improve reporting by both the shelter and the clinic.

I also sat as technical advisor on the pilot committee for the Social Security Administration's HOPE initiative with similar data objectives. The HOPE project sought to facilitate the homeless applying for Social Security and SSDI benefits; previously obstructed by their frequent moving between shelters in multiple cities, preventing them from completing the several week application process.
