Welcome! Local time in Bellevue Washington is
03:57:39 and the date is 04/17/21. For those who need to target an ICBM, I spend a considerable amount of time near N=47.56° E=-122.13° and much of the rest near N=47.16° E=-120.94°. We are -8:00 in relation to GMT.
The various pages that comprise this site have been accessed 2021244 times since the counter was created in March 1998. Currently I have an active interest in physics, rock and ice climbing, mathematics, horses and running mountain trails. I am a supporter of The Planetary Society, various skeptical organizations such as the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry and am a fan of science fiction, in its myriad forms. I also pretend to study Spanish and guitar. We'll see.

| Geometry is a dangerous thing; there are many accounts of its addictive power. A description of Archimedes from Plutarch paints a dire picture of a man so enthralled by the subject that "he neglected to eat and drink and took no care of his person; that he was often carried by force to the baths, and when there he would trace geometrical figures in the ashes of the fire." | |
| The Works of Archimedes | by Archimedes and Sir Thomas Heath |
The following items strike me as interesting, funny or valuable in some way. I will add or change content from time to time. Enjoy!
