Hi, I'm Chris Dawson. Please, no Dawson's Creek cracks; your jokes are so old they are in syndication too!

I started Webcast in a Box with my friend Erik Herz in October of 2003. The Webcast in a Box appliance is an extremely simple to use broadcasting product. Just stick in a USB key and you are broadcasting live video on the internet. Almost every piece of management software I wrote for the Webcast in a Box appliance is written in Perl.

I have worked for Claris Corporation (in and out of Apple Computer for many years), RealNetworks, and Virage which was recently acquired by Autonomy.

I published the Smil.pm on CPAN several years ago. Smil.pm is a perl module for generating Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language files, which are multimedia formatting language files which can be processed by software like the RealPlayer.
