He's been married to the same woman since 1975. That's a miracle these days.

These 2 photos of Andy were taken around 10 years apart. You'd have to agree, he's aged well. OK, maybe you won't agree.

His rock band Third Time Thru seems to have fizzled out this year. You can find some recordings on their website.

In 2015 Andy put a new band together: Evolving Door. Unfortunately that great band is now defunct as is its website. However, you can see some photos and listen to some recordings on their facebook page. Andy used to play with a jazz band named Oak City Groove.

As of now, Andy is between bands. Maybe never to return.

You can find various recordings on his soundcloud site.

When he figures out the chords and words for a song the band is going to play, he writes them down and sends them to the on-line guitar archive. That's a repository of lyrics and chords that's on the internet.

Andy plays tennis and does yoga for exercise and fun. He won first place in the Stonebridge men's tennis doubles league in 1994, 1997 and 2005.

Would you like to see his resume on LinkedIn?

Would you like to see everything he's ever done during his career? Here is information on the patents he holds?
A paper he co-authored with G. Samaras, K. Britton and C. Mohan was required reading for the Advanced Topics in Database Systems class in 2013 at Carnegie Mellon. This is a major career accomplishment. It means that something he's done in his career will outlive the products it was invented for. That article has been cited 80 times in other related articles. Brown University used a very similar syllabus, that included this paper, in their CS2270 - Advanced Topics in Database Management course. The University of San Francisco required reading the paper for their Operating Systems class.

Photos

While my wife doesn't want to have any information about my kids out on the web, take a look at a morph video of them.

Here are some photos of me in 2000 at the National Association of Music Merchandizers trade show in Nashville.

Here are some photos of the family in Europe in 1998.

For some 2009 photos take a look at the wedding planning in NC website that Cheryl put together. It was so popular with our neighbors that I decided to put it out on the web. Its probably a bit dated by now.

Here's a recently discovered photo of Andy and Paul at Woodstock. I also describe my experiences at Woodstock on that page.

I put these pages together in the early days of the internet in order to learn about html and the web. I've continued to add pages using newer and newer technology. What I've found is that these neat things act differently depending on what browser you're using and who the web host is.

I also found out that some features change over time.

My favorite is the little caption on this page that says 'this page last updated...and then some date'. The javascript that displays that used to work reliably when there were only one or 2 browsers and the javascript language was young. Now there's no telling what date will be displayed. Clearly there's a bug in that javascript, but it used to work. I'm not going to bother to fix it. Its more fun this way.

Another example is the 'alt' tag which you can add to images. When the web was young, some browsers displayed a caption when you held your mouse still over a photo. It was a primitive way to have some interaction with a web page. It was also useful because not all browsers supported images. After a while all the browsers supported the alt tag. But then browsers got more sophisticated and supported javascript to make the pages more interactive. Captions popping up over photos was not that useful. The pop up captions are still useful for the visually impaired. Screen readers can 'see' them and read them. All the browsers support the 'alt' tag, but they have them disabled by default. I guess if you're blind, you can somehow figure out how to turn on the alt tag feature. Go ahead. See if you can figure out how to enable alt tag processing in your browser. Most of the images on my pages still have pop up captions.

Some of the content on this site uses the same markup that I first used in 1998. This page for example uses the oldest, simplest markup. The Third Time Thru page uses dojo (newer, more sophisticated stuff). I've even hopped on Youtube. Gotta stay current.
