Brian McMillin is a technologist and inventor. He does hardware and software design and prototyping using the forerunners of many of the tools discussed in this book. He enjoys astronomy, caving, flying, photography, and scuba diving -- rarely at the same time. He lives in Keller, Texas, with his wife, their four demanding cats and three jealous but confused dogs.
