I write all kinds of things: novels (science fiction), a few short stories, extensive travel essays, movie reviews, how-to's on unlikely topics (there is a right way to shovel snow). I like having people read them. This Web site is the library of my writing.
Knowledge is the true cornucopia, the only thing in the universe that one can give freely without limit. Information wants to be free, especially when it has been written down. The Web is Adam Smith's (no relation) marketplace of ideas; everyone is self-published, everything is available, the refutation of Gresham's law--over time, good products will drive out bad.
Think of me as the kid in your third-grade class with his arm up so long he's supporting his elbow with his off hand, grimacing at the teacher as he silently pleads, "Call on me, please call on me."
