David (Dragon) Fiedler

I've been a computer industry consultant and author, a bicycle racer, mad scientist, a newsletter and magazine publisher and editor, a bicycle/motorcycle messenger, a freelance photographer, a software engineer, a musician, a video producer, an instrument-rated pilot (retired for the present), a dragon, and a daddy. Right now I'm a book publisher, audio consultant, freelance technical and copy editor, and photojournalism teacher for GATE students.

David on the bridge of the Enterprise I still do many of the above, often simultaneously (but not all simultaneously). I'm sometimes serious but always intense. I also taught and developed the first microcomputer class at the New School for Social Research, started the Unix newsletter Unique, was the founding editor of Unix Review magazine, co-authored a best-selling book on Unix System Administration, and was the first person to fly a quad-lined soft stunt kite at the lowest spot on Earth.

I've been a director and member of AirLifeLine, which flies medical mercy missions for people with special medical and economic needs. I'm also a proud alumnus of the Bronx High School of Science as are many of my old friends.

Did I say cats? Please visit my dear friend's site in Tokyo and see how Japanese cats live.
Did I say cats? We just started an online store called Animal Sounds where you can buy nifty stickers of not only (what else) animal sounds (like Meow and Purr and Woof) but also cat names in different languages (Neko!) and even TLAs such as LOL, RTFM, LMAO, and suchlike.

Some of the Women in My Life

First better be Susan.
She's big, she's black, and she's all mine...when her boyfriend's not around, anyway.
This lady has always entranced me.
