Websites	My personal web site, http://www.Blue-Skyz.com, is in development, but does provide a simple example of my work. Internal government work permits few viewable sites. The one exception is the Kennedy Space Center Opportunity for Improvement site http://ofi-ext.ksc.nasa.gov/OFImain.cfm. This site was developed by Val Kater and myself, but has been in sustaining mode for some years and the look has changed somewhat and the functionality has shifted and decreased. The internal software is significantly more complex than the few external screens.
