About me? A Natural Philosopher is what they call people like me. I Program computers with Mathematica... I like and do quantum mechanics and cosmology. I have some reviews for Amazon in Mathematics, Physics, fiction and Movies. I'm a big Sci fi movie fan. I've spent the last 30 years as an Fractal activist and am currently a global warming news activist...a "Green". With my groups activity on the web, I have a hobby of paleoarchaeology and the study of mathematical influences on history. I organized my high school reunion 11 years ago and then, didn't go. I write poetry, short stories and fractal based jazz. I still have my draft card. Just got a gift card from the local library as runner up in their poetry contest. Have been making 3d printing models for the last few years.

Old guy who uses Mathematica: started 3d on a Radio Shack color computer in basic about 1979. I'm an Inorganic Chemist by training with physical/ quantum Chemistry. I have been doing fractals since I was using a Commodore 64 for graphics in the 80's. In the 90's I had an Amiga and discovered ray tracing and Phong shading. I'm on a couple of Macs right now and I'm getting old. TFTN was a fractal news letter I published.
