Carrboro, North Carolina
David Bellin
Computer scientist. Licensed contractor. Cohousing developer.
Radio DJ. Author of seven books.
One person, many trades.
Cohousing community development
He helped build the
neighborhood he lives in.
Contract project management, training and consulting for cohousing groups: feasibility, building specifications, contractor relations. He did all of that for Pacifica Cohousing in Carrboro, and then moved in.
And a few other things.
Contracting
The Blue Collar Buddha.
Licensed general contractor and licensed real estate broker. New construction, whole-house renovations, and an honest second opinion on somebody else’s bid.
On the air
103.5 FM, since day one.
Volunteer DJ and commentator at WCOM-LP in Chapel Hill and Carrboro. Before that: WBAI in New York, “Doctor Dave” on WNCU, fill-in shifts at WXDU.
Writing & editing
Seven books. Hundreds of articles.
The CRC Card Book is still selling after all these years. Computers in Battle was a Computer Press Association runner-up. Editing work welcome.
Computer science
Ph.D., professor, editor.
Faculty at NC A&T State, Pratt Institute and William Paterson. Research on program metrics and software quality. Editor for social implications at ACM Computing Reviews.
KE4YRA
Ham radio, and a locksmith kit.
Amateur radio aimed at emergency services and disaster relief, including two days below the line in New York after September 11, 2001. Also a certified locksmith — strictly a hobby.
Websites
Small sites, plainly built.
Websites for people and organizations who would rather not think about websites — and who want to be able to change a paragraph themselves afterwards.
Let’s talk.
Cohousing consulting, a contractor bid that needs a second pair of eyes, an editing job — or just to say hello.
