I am Daniel F. Smith! Welcome to my domain. This is where I put files and photos and various stuff. I have have a web log, if you are interested in what I'm currently doing. I also starred (or co-starred) in a small wedding back in 2005.
Ah, the tough questions come quickly. I'll get around to answering this one as soon as my DNA test gets submitted. In the meantime, you are welcome to hazard a guess at what I am from what I look like.
I live with my wife and kids in the vicinity of Gig Harbor, Washington.
You are probably here to find out about dfsmith (that's me!) or about something I put on here (which was me!*). If that's so, you're in the right place. This web site exists as a front-end to the experiments that go on underneath, so you are not expecting to see anything exciting.*
* Unless it was embarrassing, illegal or plain dumb, in which case it wasn't me.
It's all rather dated, but I've got some photo essays set up. Feel free to browse through them. In addition, I have some software I developed years ago (I publish though GitHub now, but it's not cutting edge, otherwise my employer would claim it). Or perhaps you're interested in my past power consumption and generation?
I've put some of my short, and rather silly, movies here. The Elvis videos are better served from my brother's YouTube channel.
- Ski Elvis Day 2003 at Mount Rose (65MB MPEG). (We made the Reno Gazette Journal!)
- My vacuum cleaner(5MB MPEG). It slices through dirt. Bwa-ha-ha! (Just for fun.)
- Ski Elvis Day 2004 (59MB MPEG). Isildur Presley battles the evil Sauron Presley.
- The amazing disappearing Kurt! (10MB MPEG) (A feasibility piece for another project.)
- A Star Elvis Scroller feasibility piece (2MB MPEG) (can you see where it's going...).
Ski Elvis Day 2005 was available at skielvis.com at one point, along with even more photos. I'm wearing white, because it's the best camouflaged color for the ski patrol to find me in after an avalanche.
- Elvis Day 2006 did happen, but the big blockbuster of 2006 was going to be King Kong, which flopped, so we were never motivated to finish the edit. Maybe someday....
Err, no. Um, sorry. My wife has some much spiffier pages for her web design business though.
If you are net-savvy, you can probably guess my email addres fairly easily.
Um, yes. From a 1/4" tape cartridge I present... early HTML! And people wonder why programmers shouldn't design web pages. (By the way, don't expect non-local links to work; these pages are ancient in web time.)
