I`m a retired software engineer. I`ve programmed video games (worked a little on Marble Madness,) and other 3D graphics apps. I`ve published mathematical algorithms in computer animation and ray-tracing. My technical publications are at: (I`m also in Wikipedia: ) With my wife, Barrie, I co-authored Life Histories of Serial Murderers: www.homicideresearchworkinggroup.org/proceedings_2001.pdf (published by The Behavioral Science Unit of the FBI.) But that`s her bag. Lately, I`ve been developing what I call RIVA (Resolution Independent Vector Art.) It`s C++ code that parses a description of a potentially aesthetic image, and turns it into HP/GL-2 code, which I can print w/ my 42 HP 800 plotter. I also write comedy, flash fiction and poetry.
