...[T]hey came upon a plain... and settled there. And they said to one another... "Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower with its top in the heavens, and let us make a name for ourselves; otherwise we shall be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth." (Genesis 11:2-4)

"Peregrinatio in stabilitate" (Hugh of St. Victor)

elcome to my GeoCities WEB site, which I started building 17 April 1997, now over a decade ago.

This site's main purpose was to be home to an experiment in on-line dialogical construction of a constitution for a humane community. This project was to be oriented to such sources as Jurgen Habermas's "discourse ethics".

The project did not "go anywhere", but I did write some thoughts, which you may wish to read and comment on.

Part of the essence of dialog is to assert its contents as true, and part of the process of truth-saying is to open one's assertions to critical evaluation by all persons who come in peace. Enter the conversation here.

oncerning myself, personally, you can find out more about me by visiting the WEB site I maintain on my ISP's server. There you will find, among other things:

• My doctoral dissertation on improving emotionally charged interpersonal interactions: Communication: The social matrix of supervision of psychotherapy.
• Position papers concerning the humane potential for advanced technology, and how to address technology's more threatening aspects.
• My résumé.
• A "virtual exhibit" of my computer graphic art (preview: picture and some text).
• Digital photographs, including pictures of my two Maine Coon cats:
  • Jethra (preview: picture and some text).
  • Abiko (preview: picture and some text).
• Quotes from texts which have "spoken" to me.
• Links to other interesting WEB sites.... (Among other places, I invite you to visit Melvin and Mark Lindquist's web site. They are good friends and fine wood sculptors.)

lease go have a look at these things, and more, at my main website:

<![%THINK;[SGML]]> Also, I have a couple pages introducing: "SGML" (Standard Generalized Markup Language), which is the basis of both HTML (what you're looking at here...) and XML (which is getting a lot of hype these days...). I strongly believe that SGML is a "computer idea" really worth learning about, not just for computer-type persons, but for every person with an interest in communicating: See an email to a scholarly mailing list, for some thoughts about SGML's potential contribution to our culture; See my Intro to SGML page, for a very basic and, I hope, friendly and intriguing, introduction (via exemplification...) to what SGML actually is. (Also: Learn about APL, A humanistic and imaginatively evocative computer Programming Language!)
