Here are published writing clips as my career evolved over my lifetime -- at least the ones I remember. The most recent are available; some older ones persist on the Web; many of the oldest are lost.
A fresh-faced Research Engineer in the High Energy Physics Research Group at the University of Illinois Department of Physics, my proud two-page research piece "Linear Gate and Stretcher for Photomultiplier Dynode Pulses" was published in the American Institute of Physics journal Review of Scientific Instruments in 1964. Remember "Publish or Perish"?
The next twenty-five years provided many opportunities to write proposals, technical manuals, specifications, ad copy, business school analyses and papers, resumes, Rotary club press releases, software and other documentation.
For eight years -- November, 1986 through April, 1994 -- seventy-two of my "Sounding Off" columns were featured in the trade journal "Power Convension and Intelligent Motion" (circulation 40,000).
In the late-Nineties the Pacific Coast Business Times (Santa Barbara, circulation 4,000) published several of my columns on computer security issues.
I've published several peices in the Ventura County Star (Camarillo, CA, circulation 100,000), related to my leadership ending homelessness in Ventura:
April 3, 2008, a letter "Homeless Project Imperiled";
March 25, 2009, an op ed "Ventura Puts Cars and Coffers Before People";
September 20, 2009, a letter regarding health care, "Get It Done";
September 27, 2009, an op ed "Reducing Homelessness".
In 2010 The Wall Street Journal (New York, NY, circulation 2,100,000) published two letters:
August 4, 2010, (one sentence of) a letter regarding Border Security;
October 15, 2010, a letter "Rules Should Apply On the Hill, Too".
In 2011 I published:
Many "Sounding Off" blog entries at karlkeller.com;
The book "Street Smart 2.0: The Insider's Guide to Protecting Yourself, Your Family And Your Business"
A travel piece from New Orleans in the Channel Cities Jazz Club's May, 2011 newsletter.
