Web Site Update

Nimajin website
I've been busy. Not making any money, but busy. When the jobs aren't pouring in it's time to concentrate on marketing. So I'm prospecting and networking. And I've updated the Nimajin website. It looks much more professional now. I've added a resume and portfolio so people can learn more about me. I'm not real happy with the site yet - it concentrates on my past and not my future. So it'll change again.
The future is not real clear to me now. I like to be associated with science and communications. My intention to concentrate on media processing and content recognition is still attractive to me, but I'm not finding much interest from others. I think it's mostly because of my lack of communication. I'll work on that. Some friends say I've got to jump on the web services bandwagon to make a living. Improving people's advertising or bookkeeping is very useful, but not as incredibly fascinating to me as making a machine able to draw a floor plan of my house from photographs or making it able to fly me through town from surveillance camera input. I know what it'll take to do these and I'll keep working on them, but it'd be great to have some sponsorship so I could afford some more time to work on them.
I think this happens to a lot of people. There's not enough commercial value to our ambitions of making machines more intelligent, so over time we have to abandon our efforts and go where the money is. I'm still holding on!
That isn't really where I wanted to go with this post, but heck I'll post anything. My goal is to perkily point out how great the new web site is and how ready I am to go an extra mile, learn more new technology and build anything you can think of. What I really love is making people happy.
