Rob Guglielmetti's photostream

Rob is a lighting designer currently learning the ropes of sustainable design at a consulting firm in Boulder, CO. He is particularly interested in utilizing computers in lighting—using computers to predict the sometimes wily behavior of light—and uses Radiance to perform lighting calculations and analysis. He also uses AutoCAD and other programs in his daily work. At this point, Radiance is his main tool, and that program, its author and the small global community of users are his friends.

Prior to getting involved in architectural lighting, he did some theatrical lighting design, set design, acting, and stand-up comedy. Like Dean Allen, he is a gifted mimic. Deep down, he’s quite certain he’s a better mimic than Dean Allen.

He is vain.

He likes coffee, beer and Manhattans. He’s interested in web programming and HTML. He’s raced & fixed bicycles and built bicycle wheels. He’s messed around with water-cooled and air-cooled Volkswagens. He’s brewed his own beer. He watches baseball (and as far as that goes. He’s a Yankee Fan). He’s a private pilot.

He’s an opinionated jerk; he’s a kook and a dork.

Vehicularly speaking, He can operate a motorcycle, canoe, automobile, paddle-boat, airplane, bicycle, go-kart, lawnmower, BigWheel™, and skateboard. Skates—ice and roller—give him problems. He’s never skied, and he only mentions that because that verb in the past tense looks wierd when one writes it down.

After almost ten years of courtship, he & Brenda got hitched on May 7, 2000. They lived together in Woodbridge Township, NJ USA with their beloved cat, Emma, surrounded by malls and chain restaurants for three years, but are in the midst of a major life change, heading out to Boulder Colorado to live amidst breweries, mountains and clean air.

He dislikes cake, pies and most chocolate treats. He likes Necco wafers and Fruit Stripe gum.
