- The Fidonet BBS Network
|
- This is where I got my start with a form of computer mediated communications that worked easily enough to be enjoyable. My ARPANet account at UT Austin in '85 was neither, and when I discovered FidoNet in '86 I began to imagine the possibilities of global communication that could be accessed by anyone with a cheap PC of almost any brand. Well, the Macs weren't too cheap then (are they yet :-) but XTs were on the used market, ATs and Amiga 500s could be had for under US$1500, and 2400 baud internal modems were just starting to be available for under US$150. |
- The Sociology of High Technology
|
- If "enriched environments" can lead to neuronal growth in rats, imagine what high technology can do for people. A research report and the survey instruments used, this is the foundation for the majority of my later research and theorizing. |
- The New Virtual Schools
|
- The benefits of schools in CyberSpace. |
- The Lack of Women in Computer Science
|
- Why there should be more women in computer science and the other hard sciences, and how we can work to overcome some of the hurdles to women entering the sciences. |
- An Argument for Drug Sanity
|
- My $.02 on the drug debate. |
- The Man-Machine Interface
|
- GUIs vs. the command line, it's really your choice. |
- The Information Economy
|
- How the linkages between information, economy, education, and mass media form the system we know as society. |
- Informaton Access Helps Insure Accurate Reporting
|
- Why the media should use information databases to double-check (or check even, would be nice :-) the information they report. |

- Epistemology Through Historicism:
A Rational View of the Quest for Knowledge

- A Lecture on William James: The Father of Real Psychology
|
- Here's the transcript of a lecture I presented in the fall of '92 to a PSYC 301, Theories of Personality class at Eastern Washington University, Cheney, WA. One of these days I'll get around to also including the slides I prepared. William James was so much closer to the mark than Sigmund Freud ever fantasized. |

|
- The hardware, the software, the buzzwords. |

- ComputorLink Magazine columns, "Surfing CyberSpace" from 1994-5.
