Michael Ernest

Michael Ernest was once left alone for three weeks with a shelf of abandoned O'Reilly books and a SPARC IPX computer, complete with a dedicated 435 MB drive and 48 MB of RAM. He discovered a passion for Sun Microsystems technology to add to his passion for adult learning and has enjoyed teaching computing courses ever since.

Ernest lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with his wife, Jocelyn. He studies Kung Jung Mu Sul and tai chi, and still can't play guitar. He can be seen booting 2-3 operating systems a day in his native habitat or sometimes taking pictures at a local Habitat for Humanity construction site.
