...at least two good ideas before breakfast.

I have an inborn technolust. For more than 15 years I have worked in a variety of fields such as rich media, systems automation, consumer electronics, video games, Internet marketing and MPEG-4 systems. I have given talks on MPEG-4 Systems authoring, Open Source Education and Cloud Computing. My primary focus since 2004 has been information systems and Internet marketing. I invented a CMS method called Search-based Contextual Routing (SbCR) and am currently a partner in an Internet marketing firm based in Mexico City. (;||<
