JAH in a nutshell - (thank you Mr. O'Reilly)

Hello my name is John Anthony Hartman and from desktop to server and all the topology in-between I have worked the full spectrum of the Information Technology department. I am a keen researcher with vast experience and a wide scope of knowledge. I currently work as a Network Administrator for international company with a billion dollars in assets. I am an amateur futurist and love to look into new technology. I am currently very intrigued by these new advancements:

• Motion capture as it relates to immersive environments and the Internet II projectet
• PlanLab and my Netbait line in the OceanStore of data
• IP6 and the concept of issuing an IP address instead of a Social Security number
• Cybernetics and the ability of neural pathways to bridge gaps across silicon
• Voxels and the quest for 30 frames a second
• The Oxygen project and the dispersant computing environment
• Holographic memory and the coming optical storage revolution
• Quantum computing or how to teleport an electron to speed data across the bus
• Dancing on the head of a pin with Nano-technologies
• Tera-scale computing and beyond
• Social Computing and how my new best friend lives a thousand miles away
• The glossy world overlay or how Augmented Reality showed us the way
• Interactive collaborative environments that create our new work space
• How projecting packets of light on to the retina might bring virtual reality to the masses
• The loss of privacy as it relates to genetics and a collective recorded existence - see SDNI web site for more info

2005 the theories 100 years latter

Einstein must be playing dice with God and looking down at us still trying to disseminate what his genius showed us a century ago. Even with Moore ’s law we still try and grasp the earth shattering theories put forth by Al while he sat filtering through other peoples inventions as a "patent slave". Even ,as the tale has it, sipping a cup of tea gave inspiration to a paper “On the Motion of Small Particles Suspended in Liquids at Rest Required by the Molecular-Kinetic Theory of Heat ”I wonder if he had cream in that tea? If you have yet to do so you must read the September issue of Scientific American it features our man Al in all his splendor and puts his contributions into a modern day context.
