Thanks
for visiting my IUS home page.
I’m
happy to address questions about the various network services that IUS provides
for students, faculty, staff, and visitors, particularly as they relate to
applications and back office services running on the Microsoft Windows and
Linux servers.
I
would also like to suggest you visit my off-campus Web site for one of the best
comic book series ever created, THE LIFE AND TIMES OF $CROOGE McDUCK, authored and drawn by Don Rosa. The site has not seen any alteration for
a long time, yet it does serve to introduce anyone unfamiliar with the depth
and humor of Disney Duck comics to a surprisingly immersive and wholesome
experience. If all you know about
comics is super-heroes you should definitely give this a try:
I’ve
had the pleasure to even be involved in the creation and international
production of one of Don’s Uncle $crooge
stories, THE BEAGLE BOYS vs. THE MONEY BIN, assisting in the design and drawing
the blueprints for Scrooge’s well-protected storage and office facility,
primarily built to house his “3 cubic acres” of cash. I was finally able to put my degree in
architectural design to “practical” use, and the blueprints were
adapted for several languages so they could be inserted as part of the story in
comics published in Finland, Norway, Sweden, Holland, Italy, Australia, U.S.A.,
and several other countries. I
reworked the fonts and altered the drawings based on translations received from
natives of each land.
You
can see examples of the results of this project on the walls of my office, so
feel free to pay me a visit in KV-014 anytime. But here’s a little sample of the
original English drawing. You can

My
workmates already know I am one of Jehovah’s Witnesses, and they
sometimes have questions about our beliefs. I’m always pleased to have
spiritual discussions and welcome such at any time. I also recommend visiting the official
site of our parent organization:
