About Me


I am a photographer, journalist and layout manager for a student newspaper.
In addition I work as assistant to the college's museum.
I also volunteer for some organizations, those that oppose "The Lone Ranger."
I find music performing and photography therapeutic. I hope to influence people in a positive way such that both I and the other person share common experience.
I have also worked on in the past Grand Unified Theories. I have put a pause on it for a while now. Last I worked on anything was in 2003. Click [ here ] to read some of it. There is some stuff such as some algorithms that have not been published.
google search "jason page pbase" to see my photography.
Click here for some of my better photography.
google search "jason page trapezoid" to check out my latest music.
Misspell trapezoid and get to my website. That was a mistake I discovered during the creation of my myspace account.
I prepared an exhibit on the history of personal computing at my college in 2002. Watch it below: This video includes exclusive footage of Robert Stanley's computer art on the Apple II and his reflections on it, Apple's Computer Animation "Pencil Test" done entirely on Mac II computers and the famous Macintosh Super Bowl ad.
Systems covered include Osbourne, Compaq, Commodore, IBM, Apple, Epson, Kaypro, Texas Instruments, Atari, Zenith Datasystems, NeXT and others. Most of the systems were up and running.
People involved in the making of the exhibit and video include Nathan Harpaz, Robert Stanley, Douglas Owens, Gary Newhouse and me.
