Hi again, Jonathan,
I suspect the short, general answer is "anything and everything".
My particulars:
I began my programming career as in house IS expert for the Oakland, CA police department in the 1970's.
In the 1980's and 1990's, most of my income came from customizing an accounting package, Flexware, for small to medium sized businesses, and from a wine production control system written in Flexware by a university professor of enology and "professionalized" by moi.
I discoverered HyperCard in 1989, and began redesigning my winery software to take advantage of the new tools arid techniques available via HyperTalk.
My current interest is the potential of Revolution applications to take advantage of the features supported by Tablet PCs, My long-term goal is to release my winery software as a TPC-specific application.
But right now, that is all taking a back seat to more important work I am doing for Environmental Defense: staffing a group whose goals are to raise the public's awareness of the current state of the world's oceans & fisheries and the degree of their decline since the mid-twentieth century...followed up by activism on issues affecting our local offshore environment.
To this end, I am working on an interactive Revolution presentation summarizing the results of my reading and research so far in the form of time lines. This will be distributed in two parts: a one-time player standalone and a data stack that can be replaced whenever new references are added. I will post an announcement when Environmental Defense makes this public.

"The great diversity...which gave such resiliency to the groundfishery is gone.Haddock, which I caught by the thousands, are gone. The mid-winter run of spawning whale cod is gone. The spring run of dabs the size of a hatch cover is gone. The fall pollock are gone. I now rely on three species: cod, yellowtails, and dabs. Even with these...we must now measure each and every one, as most are legal only by a fraction. These are not characteristic of a healthy fishery. I fear they are omens of disaster."
