You are challenged to wring wisdom from the alchemical Tao, to wake from the dream while still holding the impossible object, to snag the UFO in a fishing net. Through the arts of good thinking, good sense, and good taste, such things are as attainable as your living breath.
This site exists to organize and make accessible the author's original studies in programming, mathematics, and natural philosophy. Recent or most-unique projects are formatted for offline consumption as PDF.
Secondly, this site shares small bits on alchemy, cognition, law, music, mythology, skepticism - you get the gist. Nearly all of this content is scraped from Internet sources and uniformly formatted. All efforts are made to maintain original citations and to practice good scholarly ethics. This is done to preserve a cross section of the "old web" before it vanishes by one means or another.

The Wizard is one who understands the way of the world. The wizard relates with nature, knowledge, and music. The wizard is a student of life. He writes. He studies. He is not concerned with worldly trifles, but with the essence of space and time. The wizard knows himself. The wizard has gone. The wizard has seen for himself. The wizard has seen the past and the future.
