About Me


From whence did you come?

I have come from the year '86 everything since then has just been random wondering. Ironically it has so far involved very littlie physical movement, but the temporal aspect is astounding.

Why are you here?

To meet people in which to discuss and share amusement, but failing that, to extrapolate information of what ever interest me at the time.

To where do you go?

Well let’s just say on a dark moonless night you just might see me wondering the endless corridors of the Internet. Knocking on random windows and asking: "Why is a raven like a writing desk, really, I must know!"

Meandering of the Mind

In the beginning there was silence& and then there was noise.  It carved the silence into substance.  Like water rippling through a pond it propagated itself echoing and rebounding where it ...

eXistenZ

I would have to say one of the most disturbing movies I have seen for a long time would be eXistenZ.  It is about a VR game that plugs into your spine and how the game creator is targeted by an a...

More on Changewind

I find that I was a bit unfair in my original assessment of When the Changewind Blow by Jack L. Chalker.  I suppose when I first picked it up it was very different from what I was expecting. ...
