Brett McLaughlin is best known for his writing on Java (as in the programming language rather than the coffee). However, those who are closest to him realize Java is largely a means to an endsomething to finance his more expensive habits, such as home theater.
Hooked on movies early, Brett has put together numerous complete home theater setups, including a total remodel of an attached garage, complete with columns, wood trim, and a 7.1-channel speaker bonanza. In the process, he's spent hundreds of hours running cables through walls, connecting components, and generally cursing George Lucas, Steven Spielberg, and anyone else who created a market for such a complicated hobby.
More often, though, you'll find Brett online, writing and editing for O'Reilly Media, Inc. You can find most of his books at http://java.oreilly.com, and when he's not neck deep in Java, he's probably watching the Dallas Stars or marveling at the marvelous pennant run of the Texas Rangers in 2004. Most of all, he's into what's interesting, which ranges from his two children to long discussions about absolutism and relativism. You've been forewarned
Lots of people still make my head spin when it comes to talking about home theater. I take great pride that almost all of them took time out of their ridiculously busy schedules to work on this book. Some contributed a single hack, and others went to town and practically wrote entire chapters. It turned this book into a monster, and I'm proud to run down the lineup:
Dustin Bartlett is a graduate of the University of Saskatchewan with a degree in computer science and biology (focused on genetics). He is currently working as a programmer/analyst with Point2 Technologies, Inc. He entered the world of home theater during his second year of university knowing next to nothing about the subject. Seven years and three major upgrades later his addiction to the hobby has only grown stronger. His personal home theater web site is http://dustin.bunnyhug.net (you have to be from Saskatchewan to get it ;).
G. Alan Brown entered the custom home theater industry in 1997. He started CinemaQuest, Inc. (http://www.cinemaquestinc.com) in 1998, offering products and services perfecting home theater. CinemaQuest, Inc. designs and installs custom home theaters and integrated electronic residential systems, and also provides electronic display calibration and multichannel audio system calibration services. Alan also recognized a need for providing ideal viewing environment technologies and solutions for consumers and professionals (http://www.ideal-lume. com). CinemaQuest, Inc. is the world leader in electronic display viewing environment solutions.
Michael Chen has been an enthusiast of home video ever since 1980, when his parents bought the family's first Betamax VCR. The hobby grew from there to constant upgrading of equipment and the addition of poor-man surround sound in those early days. A calibrationist for Lion A/V (http://www.lionav.com), he is unaligned with any company, so is free to criticize any type of display device on the market. As Michael says, "The man with the brutal truthas I am not there to tell you how great your equipment purchases are. I only care about the image and I won't stop until the job is done to my satisfaction. (My Curse.)"
Dr. Robert A. Fowkes has been a computer coordinator, a chemistry teacher, a staff member on National Science Foundation Summer Institutes, a consultant, and a moderator on the Home Theater Forum. He's been into computers since 1957 (when he built one from scratch!) and home theater since there was such a thing.
David Gibbons is an engineering technician whose experience spans radio, telecommunications, early computer technology, high-end test and measurement, and (more recently) environmental simulation testing technology. (OK, he's a jack of all trades.) His web site (http://www. sonic.net/~dgibbons) has annoyed some "high-end" folks already, and probably will continue to do so.
Joseph Jenkins is the site owner and operator of HDTVoice.com (http:// www.hdtvoice.com), a discussion forum dedicated to all things high-def! When not stuck to his PC, he is either attending a Philadelphia Eagles game (diehard fan), or spending time with his wife, Kim, and their cats, Indiana and Ripley.
