The best ways to get in touch with me are by e-mail at griffin2@ece.cmu.edu or by cell phone at +1-412-425-3550. I am president of Jagged Technology in Arlington, Virginia, by day, and an assistant research professor with the Department of Computer Science at The Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, by night.

You may be looking for one of these pages:

• The Memulator 3.0 source and dissertation-experimental framework, now available due to popular demand! This includes my rewrite (memulator.c) of the scsi_target.c example target-mode driver software for FreeBSD.
• The nuclear science merit badge
• The computer systems Ph.D. job search
