Congregation is considered "mid-sized" for Unitarian congregation.
This fall we will be moving to two services, with 24-member choir at

2. Lab Assistant, Information Arcade, University of Iowa.  Here is
where I have my primary access to computers -- Mac, DOS, Windows,
NeXT, Unix -- all top of the line.  We help to provide the University
with access to electronic information -- internet, other on-line
services, full-text databases, other data resources -- as well as
provide equipment and expertise assisting faculty and students with
multimedia development. We try to be a working example of what the
library of tomorrow might be like.
 
3. Instructional Designer, Second Look Computing, University of Iowa.
I help with developing multimedia applications in instruction -- I am
particularly interested (both short-term and long-term) in multimedia
applications and other instruction using technology for arts
education, and specifically music education.  I am currently working
on a development tool for electronically analyzing and storing musical
analysis.
 
Musical Experience:
 
My primary instrument is piano, although I have studied organ some
and have played it for years.  Musically, my experience is broadly in
accompanying -- both on organ and piano -- and that is the bulk of my
obligations as Society Organist for the Unitarian-Universalist Society
of Iowa City.
 
Computer Experience:
 
Lots of development of interface tools, CAI (computer-assisted
instruction) courseware, multimedia presentations, as well as
assisting and teaching people to do this on their own.
