adjusting my site for those who use more puny resolutions. This site contains no advertising for

You've surfed upon my not-so-little Home On the Web. Here you'll find a
repository of my thoughts, predictions, beliefs, and maybe, a few errant mutterings.
:-) (And even if you don't agree with what you see here, feel free to email me about
it.) I'm what you might call a freedom-loving high-technophile rationalist. I think
you'll find a thing or two of interest somewhere on my over 2 dozen pages. My links page has once again been totally
revamped, and I've culled some of the old linkrot out of it. I'm also adding more material
to my big ol' op-ed page, so be
sure to take a look there. As usual, my home page is "always under construction," though you
shouldn't find any bad html. I'm
adding more graphics and content over time. I never know when I'll have time to work on it,
so check back from time to time. At some point I may combine my op-ed and index pages, and/or
add a Table of Contents frame. And coming one of these days years, maybe,
my own VRML space station!
Here's a rough guide to what I've got to date.
Highlights:
My favorite links can be found here,
all nicely categorized. If you're a techno-geek like me, be sure to check out the Transhuman page and the Extropians link.
Read some of my op-ed columns on a variety of
topics, from the esoteric to off-the-wall. Poly-tics, futurism, and other cool stuff.
Includes a paper I did on wormholes.
I now have a biographical
page, with more info on me than you or the NSA would ever want to know.
Head Hunters: here are online copies of my resume.
Available in plain text, HTML, and Word '97 versions.
Other interesting stuff:
Some of my views on the future can be summed up from the very end of an
old (1936) movie called "Things
to Come".
Some of my views on the rest of life can be summed up with this (probably incomplete) list of
mores I live by.
Here's a poem I wrote one night
long ago. If you understand it, you're either really deep or not getting it. :-)
Ever watch the Robotech series? Here's the lyrics to Lynn Minmei's
"We Will Win". I thought it
sounded kinda libertarian, so I included it here.
So you think America is the Land of the Free? Maybe not after reading
how our Bill
of Rights is under attack. And check out my liberty-strengthening
solutions.
Finally, I used to be list moderator for a now-defunct UIUC email
list about the university's steam tunnel ("stunnel") network. Here's the intro letter, included mainly for the
sake of posterity.
Can't figure out what the object is that I'm using for a background graphic on this page?
Hint: a link on one of my pages is an indirect link to it. Hint #2: you
wouldn't want to get this close to it. Hint #3: You won't find this anywhere on Earth,
though one was once spotted over Ganymede. Give up? The answer is here.
