Our mission is to
provide the on-line world and the
"soon-to-be on-line" world with useful
products, valuable, time-saving services and educational
resources. We agree that the Internet, and more
specifically the World Wide Web, play a hugely
important role in business and education. We also agree
that 'content is king'. Following that mindset, Ben-Cam
InterMedia was formed and exists to create interesting,
interactive media for an International
audience on the most exciting communication medium the
world has ever seen
the Internet.
megaConverter.com is
brought to you by Ben-Cam InterMedia. Formed in 1996,
this company is a partnership and compilation of the
talents of designer/director Joseph "MasterJ"
Camblin, engineer/programming wizard Don
"Java-god" Benish, and illustrator/artist
"Diva" Daniele Jones.

We dont know if its entirely normal for one
person to have done everything from manually constructing
a small concrete- block building in Kansas, to working on
highly classified military projects for Hughes Aircraft,
to authoring a novel and numerous short stories, to a
self-taught position programming Web pages using
todays most relevant cross-platform computer
languages. Of course, we dont think Don Benish,
half of Ben-Cam InterMedia, senior engineer/programmer
and megaConverters co-creator really wants to be
entirely normal.Don got his BSEE from Wichita State
University, Wichita, Kansas and hes the maniac
(thats mediac from now on) that originally tossed
up the idea for an automated conversions and calculations
Web site that was globally accessible, educational, and
he stressed
useful! We (and especially Don)
sincerely hope you find megaConverter, megaCalculator,
and all its "megaStuff" to be truly useful.

Daniele Jones is one of those artists that might kick
your butt if you call her a commercial or
graphic artist. Shes an artist.
Thats it. An artist. She paints, draws, sculpts,
creates prints and mixed-media pieces and is an
excellent, shhhh, computer graphics artist. (Whew, that
was close, she almost heard us.)Originally from the
plains of Yuma, "they can actually get on the net
now", Colorado, degreed at Fort Hays State
University, Hays, Kansas and now living on the plains of
Dallas, Texas, Daniele says her inspirations come from
history, nature and non-Western art and religion. We say,
if the Internet and all its resources arent
the perfect place for her to work and learn, then where
is. The reason we say this is because we want Daniele to
be our graphic inspiration, as she has been from the
beginning, for the life of the whole "mega"
thing.

What does Joseph Camblin do? Well, he doesnt have a
degree but we forgive him for that. He didnt wise
up and get out of the music business. Instead, he plays
electronic drums with some of
Dallas most respected groups and we
actually kinda like that. Hes owner of Jozee
Designs! (partnered with Daniele on that one), half of
Ben-Cam InterMedia and the other co-creator of the whole
"mega-dom-ish-ness" thing. We believe
weve figured out his pattern though. He brainstorms
a little, writes, designs, thinks some more, whips up a
graphic or two, edits, tests, creates the HTML, and tests
again!Joe spends an unbelievable amount of time
staying current on computers, software and learning about
the Internet and the Web. So, maybe were not
completely sure of everything hes doing, but we
know hes getting it done and putting all of our
work where its most usefulon the Web.
