What is your specialty? What applied knowledge and methods do you use in your work?
My brag is “1967 till today” Star Wars Robotics Research and Development that was called "cutting edge" technology before the microprocessor was invented in 1971. Vacuum is on my 2009 resume, as it was in 1976.
The most difficult computer and its peripherals to repair on the international space station in orbit is the biomedical computer. One of my 10/1979 till 10/1980 Honeywell Biomedical Electronics position was repairing "TELEMETRY" equipment in a Fort Lauderdale, FL, hospital's Ambulatory Cardiac Intensive Care Unit. I fixed bedside monitors in the CCU where they would strap you down if you were out of bed too often.
Honeywell flies two exact copies of the same computer on every shuttle. It is the auto-sequencer at launch computer. The operational Honeywell computer has a back up in stand by. In orbit, when someone turns on a light switch in the shuttle, the Honeywell computer is told to turn on that light. I was one promotion away from a rocket ride to the International Space Station.
Can you provide a link to a site where we can get to know more about you or a project you are working on?
Chicago_Geek's poetry is posted on http://indianamountainglenncharlesludban.blogspot.com/ if you want to see the tip of the iceberg the youthful F.B.I. Agents in this new century are getting grey hair over.
ADMIT FAULT, PAY UP & APOLOGIZE TO GOD!!!
My DVD recorder is now doing to the Pentagon what my $3,000 single shot Tektronix oscilloscope once did. My boss always issued me a $3,000 scope and $300 digital meter so I could use my $500 machinists' tool box on wheels.
My blogs are fun if you like the truth:

(If you look closely, the "DU Penetrators fired from the nose cannon out of the "A-10 Warthog" are molten from the warbird gunfire before they hit the commie tank = alpha particles in pilots' lungs !!!)
This one really is hated by Generals and Admirals:

How would you describe your professional strengths and weaknesses?
Keep my toys in front of me. Don't bug me boss, engineer, or party animal. I am busy with keeping incoming missiles --launched from North Korea and Iran -- from hitting our or our friends' postage stamps.
Ask Raytheon how much of my PHILOSOPHY is in their PATRIOT MISSILE SYSTEM? I cut teeth on Raytheon junk that flew in the 1950's Korean Police Action -- the World War 2's called it. GPS is sold in bait shops to BASS BOAT owners. In 1968, the NAS Chase Field NASU REP told me, "That has never been done before I did that (security clearance they try to tell me I no longer have)." He was talking about how I noticeably improved the reliability of Raytheon Avionics in the 1960's in Naval Air Advanced Training Command headquartered at Naval Air Station Jacksonville, Florida. So the 2009 Navy has complete records of what I did at NAS Chase Field.
What did you play with as a child? Does your profession have anything to do with your childhood toys?
My favorite Christmas Present, as a pre-teen, was the footballs my favorite Uncle always had under the tree after my mother told Uncle Chuck to buy clothes for me. At NAS Chase Field in the 1968 Texas Misquite <spelled wrong willfully after word processor dictionary told me how to spell ir correctly> Bush Desert, I kicked 4 footballs off my kicking tee into the strong hot air in Texas to strengthen my leg to maybe walk on to Indiana University football practice. I was doing flips off the base pool's 3-meter spring board till I got my footballs.
My mom loved sending me cookies or any legal item I asked for through the mail because I was a good little sailor and complied with the Navy Chaplain's order to "Write your mommie!" Gail Connolly in New England and Marilyn Tessier in Florida got fewer letters from me, but Gail and Marilyn never sent me footballs through the mail to me in Texas.
What role does creativity play in your work? Do you have leeway to develop innovative ideas?
When you are working on an engineer's design that nobody has ever seen work, the engineer picked me as his most creative electronics technician. My creativity is automatic. I do not recognize it in myself. But in all the 1967 till 2009 years, I was handed projects after all other electronics technicians in my department completed the standard time study project. I got good grades in Geometry and Calculus. I usually finished the time study exercise in less time than all but a few electronics technicians that were actual geniuses.
Now we have "Nail Technicians". They are artists on fingernails. Ask auto mechanics if they hate General Motors calling them "engine technicians" and paying them less because they are no longer allowed to work on everything in a car?
What type of technology do you use to develop your work?
Squishy stuff between my ears that is found inside my skull.
Do you think you are up to date in your sector? How do you keep up to date?
Why does big brother break into my home while I am on a 4-hour city bus trip to my Veterans' Hospital. The D.E.A. can't get a warrant signed by a good judge, so the F.B.I. hires a street thug to do their dirty work. I left a nice little Defense Electronics secret in my 1983 Fort Lauderdale apartment that the landlord legally evicted me from.
Broward County Sheriff Bob Butterworth had to call the F.B.I. before he put my stuff on the sidewalk. My stuff is now -- in 2009 -- lost to court orders, but somebody knows where the Engineering Research Incorporated High Voltage Power Supply plans are where they can touch them in 10 minutes or fewer.
Which is more important: meticulousness so as not to make mistakes or imagination to find innovative solutions?
The highest voltage contacted by my careless self was 10,000 and I lived to tell about it. So plodding toward a solution got Gretta the gold in my department. Maybe there was a Ruskie engineering department the Pentagon overpaid and lost brave electronics technicians the way the U.S.S.R. lost Cosmonauts. Smoke that boss, engineer with golf clubs or party animal that got hired because your granddaddy owns stock in our place of employment.
What do you do about that stupid "bug" you’ve been trying to work out for five hours with no progress?
Give that junk to the brain that invented that Gordian knot !!! My technician bench was about 10 paces from his office.
Which do you prefer: to deal with technical problems or problems with clients?
My project engineer and the Chief Electrical Engineer that assigned him to me are my unavoidable clients. The client outside our closed mouth group is actually fun when you are the geek and he is the bank account.
Creativity on expense reports is fun also.
Do you need to be in good physical shape to do your work?
Nope. Only Field Servicemen have to make haste and progress. I get paid for what I know and not for what I do -- old school.
Which university subject required the most from you in order to pass?
Calculus and Physics. Can't understand Physics without being well grounded in Calculus.
Ingenuity is lost if it is not cared for. How is ingenuity cultivated ?
Give it to your CREATOR! Your CREATOR is always providing, whether you want the ENTITY to do that or not!
What is your concept of elegance in solutions?
You are either productive or you are fired.
What kind of job would you like to get via telephone today?
Personal Injury Lawyer's Paralegal after 5 crooks on the US Supreme Court did not pay me $1,700,000 for the negligence of Secretary of Labor Donnovan.
Aside from know-how, what qualities should an engineer have in order to be a successful professional?
Pass tests instead of using fraternity files on your professors.
When evaluating an employee or collaborator, what importance do you give to courses and certifications?
I can pick your brain with your first tour of my workplace.
Are you are satisfied with your current challenges?
Would you like to deal with more difficult problems? If so, what kind?
Since 1967, I have never bitten off more than I can chew. DEPLETED URANIUM is a deep ugly Pentagon Secret. They know. They just are hiding what they know from us in a Ponzie Scheme with a little 3-card Monty thrown in. (Please anyone who minored in Criminology replace my slang with the pro-term the F.B.I. does not want known to the general public?)
We taxpayers paid for their research. We own their results, or some jerk did not know how to write a contract properly. Cost Accounting sportsfans. Keep spending good money after bad and Uncle Sam will repeat the history of the Holy Roman Empire.
A joke is appropriate here: What is one of the biggest reasons the Holy Roman Empire went belly up?
ANS: THEY DID NOT TREAT THEIR VETERANS AND TAXPAYERS PROPERLY !!!
Here is a pop quiz, "What do you call a 2009 banker?" BANK ROBBER (and why is there an F.B.I.?)
Where do you see yourself in five years?
My company finally making money because of one of my new-hires buys me out and conforms to "SMART WEAPON PROFITABILITY"!!!
What advice do you give those who want to work in your field?
Ever smell the Chicago Stock Yards in the 1950's?
CONCEPT: "Ear Buds for The Nose and Olfactory Glands" = Invent an in-the-nose gas mask that astronauts will love every time someone has a gastro-intestinal indisgression.
One of my Great Grand Relatives was a Swiss Watch Maker. In 2009, I wear a digital watch with no moving parts except the "function" buttons you push.
Final POP QUIZ in this process: Why are engineers always making modern conveniences smaller? The less chance a human being has of making the CREATOR angry.
Man paints with paints. Hey all you Biotechs out there, Our CREATOR paints with living & breathing proteins.
