About Me
Hi. I’m John Proffitt. Gravity Medium is my professional ruminations site.
I currently live in Anchorage, Alaska and work for a nonprofit company that operates a public TV station, a public radio station and a statewide radio news network.
Content published on this site represents my views and not those of my employer.
In my daily work I take care of computers, phones, networks, servers, Internet services and software, plus web sites, HTML, CSS, podcasts, video editing, YouTube, Flickr, WordPress, Facebook and so on. We have about 35 employees and today our services reach about 90% of Alaska’s population.
In addition to regular duties, I also work on issues of strategy in a small group with our CEO. We’re currently (2007-2008) doing intensive and deep strategic planning for the company. The outcome is likely to set the stage for the next 10 years and will either revitalize our community service or will put us on a glide path to an eventual shutdown.
