>> Senior VP of Technology at the Newseum.
Well I used to laughingly
tell people that if it plugs
into the wall ultimately I
have some responsibility for it
and the fact is that's very true
because all of the computer support,
all of the museum technology, we run
an extensive broadcast operation.
That all falls under the technology group
so there's a lot of maintenance that goes
on a day-to-day basis, I
keep involved with that.
I keep involved with things as simple
as our daily front pages exhibit
and all the programming and
automation processes that go
in behind what makes that happen every day.
It can as simple as ordering toners
for large-format printers
or making sure they're here.
I don't personally order them all the way
up to a fleet of photocopying machines
for the building that can be $8 million's
worth of gear, so a lot of stuff goes on here.
It's not at all a traditional
business environment.
It's, within the walls of this building
there's entertainment, there's hospitality,
there's food service, there is residential.
We had a pretty extensive
list of things that we wanted
in this building and we pretty
much got them all.
Well we are also a full-service
broadcast production facility.
Oftentimes we'll have as many as three different
shows going on in this building at one time.
There are days we start at
3 o'clock in the morning.
Now do I always show up at 3?
No, but I do quite often because
it's what I've done all my life.
So the reality is it can go from very
early in the morning until late at night.
