- Books
This is realy only of interest to me but here is a running list of books I have read, am reading, or intend to read in the near future.
- onShore Devel Inc
My onShore Development page,
including a photo tour of the house of hack smack dab in the
middle of Chicago's ultra-trendy Eckert Park district, home of
Bialy's fine dining as seen on "The Real World, Chicago".
onShore Devel's official corporate presence on the
interweb
- Sweet Home Chicago
As promised to a few, snaps of the pad.
UPDATE - 1March2003
At long last I have replaced the Fry Street pictures with
pictures of the new neighborhood. The old ones can still
be found here.
UPDATE - 15December2000
Ah, snow. I remember when I delighted in the miracle
that transformed the world from its banal grass and
cement covered self into a fantasy land of childhood
entertainment. Then I left school.
I have posted pictures
of the soon to be infamous Chicago winter of 2000-2001.
- Our Trip To The Shore
(Could be, they could be taken on
holiday.) Monica and I went on a trip to Rhode Island to
visit friends and investigate graduate schools. I had fun with my
new digital camera and decided to cronical the whole thing in a web album. Note that it is still
now and may always be a work in progress.
- Rollerball
(LL Cool J? Gimme a break!) Inspired
by a late night of drinking and reminiscing about the 'good old
days' I was driven to hack together this homage to Norman Jewison's only
mildly disturbing vision of the future. Perhaps it's not the
pinnacle of the film-makers art, but I have always had a special
place in my heart for this tale of individuality, hero worship, and
the ability of one man to shake the system. It also has some
kick-ass butt whomping. Like every other personal interest project
on my docket, it aint done.
- E Prime
Quantum Psycholgy - E and E-Prime
, by Robert Anton Wilson
- Lisp
There are certain objects of our affection that reveal their
beauty and charm only when we make a chivalrous but
determined assault on their defenses; they remain
impregnable if we don't lay siege to their inherent
complexity. -- Christian Queinnec, "Lisp In Small Pieces"
Lisp is it. My language (well, family of languages) of
choice. I have been extremely fortunate so far to be able
to do what very few lisp programmers are able to do, earn a
living coding in lisp. When I started at onShore Devel I was hired for
my Java skills and spent much of my time coding in perl.
When the time finaly came for me to try my hand at the
companies Flagship
product, which is implemented almost exclusively in
lisp, I was hooked.
Beating the Averages, by Paul Graham
My common lisp crypt library providing the functions needed to carry out the Diffie-Hellmen key exchange protocol.
- My New Radio
A web album wherein is detailed the
discovery, purchase, and restoration of an antique radio.
