Jim Stogdill
Jim Stogdill heads up O'Reilly's Radar and Strata businesses. A lifelong technology practitioner, he's finding this media thing ridiculously fun. In a previous life he traveled the world with the U.S. Navy. Unfortunately, from his vantage point it all looked like the inside of a submarine. He spends his free time hacking silver halides with decidedly low-tech gear.
