Richard K. Miller’s Summary

I want to be the Jon Udell of my peer group, "brokering connections among people, software, information, and ideas." I like sharing my address book, my bookmarks, and my brain.

I've built a web app using object-oriented PHP 5 and MySQL. Taught an 84-year-old man how to use WordPress and Audacity to publish his own blog and podcast. Built, monetized, and sold a website that is now the #1 search result for its niche. Created several video tutorials on how to configure a Mac as a server. Created two WordPress plugins and released them as open source. Helped hundreds of people troubleshoot Mac and Windows computers. Installed and configured Linux dozens of times. Wired together data sources with or without APIs. Edited hundreds of hours of video and created DVDs. Administered a wiki. Produced a podcast. Raised money for a non-profit.
