Bill Costa's Home Page

When I'm not in the throes of programming joy, I like to SCUBA dive. Here's my favorite local dive shop.

I created this page way back in the very earliest days of the Web, and it has been changed very little since then.

What can I say.

I am part of the Enterprise Computing Group (ECG) of the UNH UNH IT Department department. When this page was originally created, I was part of the team that implemented UNH's very first efforts at creating a web presence (UNHinfo). I guess keeping this page pretty much unchanged since then could be seen as a tribute to the good old days. But in truth, I'm just lazy about this sort of thing.

A long time ago I use to own this unusual 3D video camcorder. I sold it to a Korean company that wanted it for creating content for a stereoscopic TV technology they were working on. Never heard any more about. I still maintain the page about this camcorder for people curious about these devices. But I haven't done anything with stereographic video for a very long time now, so don't expect me to have anything intelligent to say about the current technologies.

Here is an extensive review I wrote in the Fall of 2011 about the LG D2342 3D computer monitor that uses passive glasses technology. This is a nice feature for non-Windows folks because no hardware drivers are needed to run it.

Straight Dope is one of the few pages on the net that I go back to on a regular basis to read. If this is the first you've heard of it, you may want to check it out.
