Operations and System Architecture
A veteran of the early days of the internet and the beginning of the microcomputer revolution, Barry’s first "personal computer" was a 1975 8-bit Motorola MC6800D1 that ran at 0.5 Mhz and had a whopping 512 bytes of memory.

But times change and over the years he has worked with dozens of companies in the technology sector in engineering, engineering management and executive management. Companies like Cathay Pacific, GoodCompany.com, HP, NetSchools, IBM, Navisoft, America Online, GNN, FedEx, SRA, Novell, Photonics, Andersen Consulting, Prodigy, Thuridion, Microsoft, Tidemark, CoStar, Kofax, Ashton-Tate, Analytica, Borland, Altos, Seattle Computer Products, VisiCorp, Paladin, DEC, Qume, and more.

On a daily basis these days Barry uses Linux, Solaris, Palm OS, NetBsd, OS X, and Windows 2000/XP computers to get his work done. In the "museum" he has systems that run CP/M-80, VAX/VMS 5.x, BSD 2.8, 2.9, 2.11, Unix V7, RT-11, CDOS, AIX, HP/UX, Sun OS 4.1.3, Solbourne OS/MP 4.1c, Novell NetWare 3.11, 4.1, UCSD Pascal, PC/IX, Xenix and MS-DOS 1.2 that still get fired up from time to time. It's a disease, but fortunately we have built immunity.

Visual Communications
Before moving into the fast-lane of Santa Cruz in 2008, Dusty was a Hollywood-based director, cinematographer and filmmaker. Although he has directed feature films, documentaries, and TV Movies, his legacy remains an innovative approach to shooting "metal" – the car commercials he shot for Honda, Acura, Toyota, Nissan, Isuzu, Ford, Oldsmobile, Buick, Subaru, Mitsubishi, Mazda, Lincoln-Mercury, Pontiac, and GMC.

Today Dusty is extending the capabilities of productOps and creating web videos for local non-profit and for-profit companies such as NextSpace, Healthy Kids, Second Harvest Food Bank, Vida Verde, Bonny Doon Vineyards and the Santa Cruz Design + Innovation Center. In addition, he is exploring streaming video on the Internet, and is currently developing RAYGUN a “webisodic” internet series.
