Select a topic of interest from the list below.  Thanks for stopping by.

• Read some science fiction stories that I wrote myself.

• Read a detailed account of our son's persistent and severe ADHD. This story has many false leads and blind alleys, but that's how real science is done.

• My own speech software for Linux, and a text based editor browser called edbrowse that runs on any operating system. Both these packages promote a command line philosophy, yet my speech software can also run in screen review mode if you prefer.

• A resource for scrapbook designers. Contains titles, quotations, song lyrics, famous speeches - everything you need to put your page together - except the pictures of course, you supply those.

• Explore the wonderful world of polyominoes. I was the first to establish tilings for several of these interesting shapes.

• A collection of interesting problems and puzzles for gifted high school students.

• The MathReference project presents 1,400 pages of advanced mathematics in a manner that is accessible to both blind and sighted users.

• My thoughts on Chicago Math, as it is being taught in our local school district. This is merely one aspect of a troubling trend in elementary education.

• Solve and/or explore the Rubik's Cube, and other related permutation puzzles.

• Take our marriage/compatibility test - it's just for fun.

• Identify the Star Trek episode, a game of Trek trivia.

• Here are some albums that I just can't do without.

• What is it like to obtain your first leader dog?
