Perhaps a job?

If I had to work anywhere, and I mean never to work, then I would work at Apple, Inc. (Renamed from Apple Computer Inc, on January 9^th 2007).

Because of the great work done by Paul Reese and the other dedicated teachers of The Ralph Bunche School, we were invited to speak at the Apple Computer Pacesetters Conference. Reese and I still like to think that we are setting the pace for the use of Apple's products.

Languages

An alphabet is a set. The elements of an alphabet are called its letters. A word over an alphabet can be any finite sequence, or string, of letters. And, so, a language is just a set of words.

miniSCHEME

My favorite language is Scheme, because functional programming languages allow you to do some very interesting things.

An implementation of Scheme in Scheme.

miniMATLAB

MATLAB is a language especially suited for operating on matrices, and matrices offer interesting methods of analysis.

A parallel implementation of MATLAB in Lexx, Yacc, and the X10 parallel programming language.

Extracurricular Languages

UNIX Systems Administration: Using UNIX regular expressions to process email with sendmail, procmail, and the Perl programming language.

Personal Site: My personal information in the Structured Query Language (SQL).

Latin-to-English: Using the ADA programming language to decipher the language of the Romans.

Torah: Arguably the most fascinating set of words ever printed. And my translation comes with a handy little script written in the Python programming language for generating the HTML character codes for Hebrew.

Some old projects...

Data compression for environmental satellites for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. I think I can dig up some old Matlab code.

U.S. Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command research project to analyze signals from naval sound surveillance hydrophones for deep-water, long-range detection.
