“Let me get my borescope!”

If you need to poke into an ancient artifact to discover what’s inside, or search through the walls of your great-grandpa’s dusty old house to find his lost will where he left everything to you, or you’re trying to look under the door into the hideout of criminal bomb-makers, what do you need?  Now you don’t have to be Lara Croft, bellowing for her tech geek Bryce.  Nope, you need a borescope!

Doug is a nerd from way back, falling for a Commodore PET at the age of 15, and never looking back. Riding the nerd wave, he got a Computer Science degree and entered the tech industry at a young age, deciding after a year and a half of front-line phone technical support that he should try something, *anything* else. He settled on technical writing, and has been cranking out documentation for companies like Unisys, SGI, Cisco, Juniper, and many others ever since. The fact that he commutes between his family in Austin and his day job in California is something that he is simply trying to live with. (Isabelle the Corgi helps.)
