INTERESTS

Planetary consciousness -- think globally, act locally.
Optimize globally.  Plants and animals have just as much
right to the planet as humans. Man is the caretaker of
earth, not its master.  We must reduce the number of
humans without resorting to war or pestilence.

This includes in roughly descending order: Protecting the
envirornment.  Relaxing the taboos that are holding our
populations too high e.g. homosexuality, polyandry,
intergenerational sex, non-procreating incest and
interspecies bonds. Publicly teaching how to beat AIDS.
Communication with cetacea and other animals including
humans.  Pranging (stunts that break people's conditioned
patterns or addictions). Writing essays.  Frogs.  Africa.
Tropical reefs.

I am available for contract work.  I prefer to work in
C++, Forth, Abundance, Delphi or assembler.  I have
proficiency in dozens of computer languages. I am
interested in working with Java, Smalltalk and Perl, but I
don't have experience with those yet.

SALIENT FACTS

- loves speaking to large audiences.  Hint hint.

- will soon have a radio show that goes across Canada.  I
am part of the "dream team".

- Uses humour to gently introduce revolutionary ideas.
Talks in metaphors with hidden meaning.  Actively
implementing plans to reshape the world.

- donated his house to charity in the spring of 1985.

- started Gay Lib in western Canada back in 1969.

- HIV+ since summer of 85 (the AIDS rabbit died, but I'm
still alive and kicking.) I am keen on spreading the
techniques to which I ascribe my longevity and high
energy.  Because of poor health, I resigned my job in
December 1994.  In December 1995, I had an amazing rally,
that collapsed the day I found out my T cell test results.
This hints to me that AIDS is largely a psychosomatic
disease.

- Wrote an article in 86 October Byte on Abundance.  It is
a computer language that can jaunt (run forward and
backward in time).  Its philosophy is radically different
from the mainstream.  I implemented a compiler and put it
in the public domain.

- Wrote the public domain BBL (Big Black Lady) 32-bit
Forth compiler. JPL told me they used it as a base for
their compiler to control unmanned space craft.

- Worked with John Lilly at the Human Dolphin Foundation.
Wrote an electronic Etch-A-Sketch controlled by delphinic
whistles. Took dolphins on their first tour of the human
world using an video camera and underwater video monitor.
Worked on project Janus.  Present at the first experiment
in November 1979.

- Wrote Optow - a program that designs most of the
transmission lines in BC and Brazil.  It was the first
time I discovered the whole was more than the sum of its
parts. It had a "style" and "personality" I had no
intention of programming in -- it just emerged out of the
low level detail.

- Types with Northgate Omnikey Ultra Dvorak keyboard,
instead of QWERTY.  The idea is most common characters are
in your home row, and the least common in the bottom row.
I could not touch type QWERTY without severe wrist pain.
With DSK I can type for hours a day at up to 100 WPM
without discomfort.

- wants to learn new languages including Esperanto,
Chinese, Tagalog, Bahasa Indonesia, Arabic and an African
language.  I am most interested in grammar and how
language determines what you _can_ think.

- Past president of Apples BC.

- Teamed with Paul Porter, speaks on the second Thursday
of each month at Science World to the Vancouver PC User
Society answering general questions about the universe
often using computer metaphors.

-There are some interesting new projects coming down the
pipe.  I am somewhat overcommited just now.  I am still
trapped in poverty consciousness, but I somehow need to
fund these altruistic projects. This is where the money
from shareware registrations goes.  I need skilled people
to implement the details. Projects include:

1. Stay in Touch database so friends can always find you
no matter how often you move or change Internet providers.
It subtly encourages people to support children in the
third world by publicly displaying the names of children
supported. I already have about 50 completed
questionaires.  Available as Web search engine, ASCII
file, paper subset, or structured database incremental
download for offline browsing. Could also be used by
schools to track people for the next reunion

2. BusTel: way of rapidly full-duplex exchanging
name/address/credit information during a voice call.  This
fits in with the "Common Phone" design contest (see BIX
telecomm.tech/phone.co) which will implement the BusTel
protocol in desk phones. You tap the heart/trust key to
exchange names/addresses.  You tap twice to exchange
credit card info.  You tap three times for direct debit
exchange.  This project has potential to generate big
bucks.

3. Web site to distribute master copies of everything
(software and essays) CMP (Canadian Mind Products, nee
Consolidated Moose Pasture) has ever written.  The hot
thing now is my public diary from BIX disasters/aids.

4. Tools to automate software sales/rentals, discourage
piracy and lower software prices. This is also a potential
big money maker, but it requires more initial funding than
the other projects.

5. Registry to help you find your ideal lover using
principles from Hendrix, Keyes and Vialogos.  You fill out
a VERY detailed HTML questionaire and get a list of the
best matches. It is an exercise in inner and outer
honesty.  Scanned photos too.  I have already been doing
this manually for gay people.

6. Child abuse database.  Tracks suspicious incidents, in
themselves not conclusive, but when viewed in totality
show a picture of imminent danger.  This is the brainchild
Alexander Investigations run by an ex-cop/private
investigator.  It has stalled for lack of funding.

LOVES

my friend Bernard, inspiring people to take a stand for
planetary consciousness, sex with black guys, giving
massages, hearing about people's human relationship
problems, Woody Allen (especially Sleeper), early Roberta
Flack, CBC Radio (especially Leon Cole,The Royal Canadian
Air Farce and Double Exposure), Bach, Walter/Wendy Carlos,
the movie "Something For Everyone" with Michael York and
Angela Lansbury, clean air, clean water, consciousness
workshops, new efficient, secure computer architectures
and new computer languages that make life easy for both
programmer and user.
 
MY MACHINE

I have a 90 MHz Pentium, PCI bus.  1 GIG Futjitsu SCSI
Disk. 16 MB RAM.Turbo Cool power supply.  ATI video card
that will remain nameless to protect the guilty., Alps
Allegro 500 dot matrix printer, Sony 17se monitor. HP 2
gig DAT drive. Omnikey Ultra DSK keyboard.  Logitec bus
mouse.  USR V.32bis 14.4 modem. Toshiba 4x EIDE CD ROM.
Hewlett Packard 3C colour scanner.

As a machine for guests I have my old 486 with the Nec
3FGx monitor and a Nec Silentwriter 95 Laser, 4PPM,
Toshiba SCSI CD-ROM. The 3COM/OS2 LAN still isn't working
reliably.

I run OS/2 warp.  I am not happy with it.  Neither am I
happy with Windows.  Perhaps it is time to give NT or
Taligent a shot.  I want an OS suitable both for me and
for the computer virgins who come to visit.  I want the
team working on the OS I use to be totally dedicated to
quality and craftsmanship. Check with Anthony Robbins and
Arthur Demming on how to do this.

MY HEROES

Oprah Winfrey, Anthony Robbins, Woody Allen, Superman
(Chrisopher Reeve), Martin Luther King, Gandhi, John
Lilly, Ken Keyes, Stephen Gaskin, Carl Sagan, Nelson
Mandela, David Suzuki, Paul Watson (we both stayed at the
same frat house back in the early 70s), Jay Vanderbilt, St
Francis of Assisi (For his guts to confront the pope with
his hypocrisy, though I think he overdid the poverty
thing), Kent Brothers (no he's not Joyce's husband, he's
the author of VP Planner and the most intelligent person I
have ever met -- a genius with a social conscience -- a
Bahai.)
 
PEOPLE I WOULD MOST LIKE TO MEET I HAVE NOT MET YET 

in roughly desired chronological order:
Jerry Herman, Anthony Robbins , Woody Allen and friends,
Patrick Stewart (Captain Jean Luc Picard), Oprah Winfrey,
Julie Andrews, Christopher Reeve, Hillary Clinton.

DASH 30 DASH

The "-30-" at the end of my posts is a newspaper
convention meaning "the end".  If you have a listing, it
confirms all was printed properly.  In a modem
transmission it confirms nothing was chopped off.

If you have trouble in Galahad reading past the end of
this resume, try clicking the READ button. For some reason
this resume sometimes fails to end in CrLf.

FAVOURITE QUOTES

"Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to
draw back, always ineffectiveness.  Concerning all acts of
initiative and creation, there is one elementary truth,
the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid
plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself,
then Providence moves too.  All sorts of things occur to
help one that would never otherwise have occurred.  A
whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising
in one's favour all manner of unforeseen incidents and
meetings and material assistance which no one could have
dreamed would have come their way.  Whatever you can do,
or dream you can, begin it.  Boldness has genius, power,
and magic in it.  Begin it now."

from "Notes on the Scottish Himalayan Expedition" by
William H. Murray.  The last three sentences beginning
with "Whatever you can do..." is a quote from Goethe.

There is no end to what can be accomplished if you don't
care who gets the credit.  
-Art Rennison.

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed
citizens can change the world; indeed it is the only thing
that ever has.

Never ascribe to malice, that which can be explained by
incompetence.

The penis is mightier than the sword 
- Roedy

Love your enemies.  Do good to them that persecute you.
- Jesus

I open myself genuinely to all people by being willing to
fully communicate my deepest feelings since hiding in any
degree keeps me stuck in my illusion of separateness from
other people:
- The Seventh Pathway from Handbook to Higher
Consciousness by Ken Keyes

I am discovering how my consciousness-dominating
addictions create my illusory version of the changing
world of people and situations around me.  
- The Second Pathway from Handbook to Higher Consciousness
by Ken Keyes

I am perceiving everyone, includirng myself as an
awakening being who is here to claim his or her birthright
to the higher consciousness planes of unconditional love
and oneness.

Consciousness by Ken Keyes

You are the people.  You are this season's people -- There
are no other people this season.  If you blow it, it's
blown.

Enlightenment is getting off your tail and doing
something.  
- Stephen Gaskin

MY POEMS

These are true stories.

SOLIDARITY

I bought a crab and set him free in the ocean.

DISAPPOINTMENT

I pointed at the bun I wanted most in the whole store.
The saleslady gave me something else with the same name.

LUNCH DATE

I went to buy a crab today to set her free in the ocean.
There were no she crabs for sale.

PRIMES

Today, I bought another crab and set him free in the ocean.

(for Dr. Melzak my math professor who survived the Nazi concentration camps
with by entertaining with his feats of mental arithmetic.)

ANOTHER POINT OF VIEW

We listened with a herd of elk.

BECKY

I talked.  She understood.

RABBIT GOD

Street people bring offerings of carrot and apple to the blue rabbit.

BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU ASK FOR

A spider mysteriously appeared in my bathtub.
She chose my aloe plant for her new home.

FOR MANNY
A woman sewed a rainbow into my coat.

One should strive not to lie in the negative sense by remaining silent.
- Leo Tolstoy
