For more detail on my professional life, here's my résumé.
Feel free to contact me via my own consulting business, mvgfr Services.
What Color is Your Parachute? - Now for many different scenarios than work.

Personality resources (increasingly used in the work world)

(NOTE: As with all such things, take with a grain of salt - and check the science.)
David Keirsey's explorations of personality.
- Try the Temperament Sorter; it can be an interesting exercise.
Of course, see also, the founding work: Myers-Briggs.

Tech resources in the Green Mountain State

Vermont Technology Alliance (formerly: VT SDA; Vermont Software Developers' Alliance)
Champlain College - these folks are doing some amazing stuff.
[Disclosure: I've signed on as an Adjunct Professor (†) - ex: CSI-230: Linux / UNIX Programming.]
- († Yes; I do have significant concerns about what has become, in Higher Ed, an adjunct _system_, and its potential negative effects on both adjuncts and students.)
Vermont Tech Jam

Stuff to sell, trade or give away

My eBay seller site. (Currently in hiatus.)
Freecycle! "One person's junk is another person's treasure"
Here are the Vermont Freecycle groups.
Front Porch Forum, for some neighborly connection.
For instance, the sections for my two favorite Vermont towns: Hinesburg and Burlington
(Note: I've taken down my Amazon storefront - In good conscience, I can no longer recommend doing any kind of business with Amazon.)

What's "mvgfr"?

For much of my professional life, the initials of my name - and as with any professional name, it makes sense to keep linked to it. Handily, it's also rather unique and therefore good for useful search results.
