Radio K
My favorite radio station, without a doubt is 770 Radio K. RadioK is the radio station of the University of Minnesota’s Twin Cities
campus.
Analog synths
My roommate Stan is insane about analog synths. He loves ‘em.
He has put together a very nice web site reviewing many analog synthesizers.
Photography
I enjoy photography. I currently use:
- Kodak DC3200
- Canon Powershot S30 (DEAD)
- Canon D30
- Canon A300
- Canon AE-1 with a 28mm lens or a 135mm lens. Generally I prefer to shoot Fuji print film and have it matte printed. (I gave this back to my mom)

Jesse Mullan: Master of Lightning Wit, Backchat and Repartee
Trinity Regional Medical Center in Fort Dodge, Iowa
Birthplace of Jesse Mullan
On August 14th, 1975, “Jive Talkin’” by the BeeGees was number one on the Billboard charts, the film version of the Rocky Horror Picture Show debuted in London, and a purple screaming baby boy was born in the small town of Fort Dodge, Iowa. He was christened Jesse Patrick Mullan.
25 years later, after careful preparation at elementary school1, two middle schools2,2.5,3, two high schools4,5, some college6, a host of part-time and temporary jobs, and two years in the computer operations department of TCF Bank, Jesse was hired on at IBS on the strength of his html skills and relational-database-driven personal websites7,8. Jesse was recently laid off but expects a full recovery soon.
You may investigate Jesse’s resume here.
In his ever-diminishing free time, Jesse enjoys photography, motorsports, film, and music. He has three working computers at home, all running one server software or another.
Jesse has three sisters, Ellen, Rosa Rae, and Bernalice Essence. Ellen is an RN, Rosa and Nali are very young.
My Highly Useful Generic Enterprise-wide Tool
Here some things that you might like to use to do various things.
Mac Annoyances
I don’t know about you, but I’m pretty used to my key combinations in Windows. My job is programming, which means that I live and die by the keyboard. I expect the keyboard to behave in certain ways - those shortcuts are what keeps my typing speed up.
Yes, I have been able to remap some of the keys, but seemingly not enough.
Also, this 400MHz G4 (new to me) is slow compared to my Athlon 2200+ desktop. Well, I suppose that is to be assumed given the wide disparities in clock speeds, but still, it doesn’t help my impression of this thing.
