There are three topics where I have serious ideas to offer. I have put these put in separate domains:

1. A better environment, strongly influenced by considerations of “Limits to Growth”
2.  A better society, ideas about inequality, and voting reform.
3. The Writer Project which is the development of a one-handed, chord-type text input device which would be as far as possible an open source standard platform.

That leaves this domain. There is nothing too serious here. I don’t have any opinions I want to promote. The thing is I like inventing things, I always have, and I still do. This is not a boast, and I do not claim to be good at it. During my working career some of my inventions got patents and a few generated useful intellectual property. Others were a bit ludicrous. Now it is just fun.

My inventions are in a great variety of subject areas, for which I have rather variable degree of qualification. (I have the impression that this is not that unusual!)

Some of the pages are a bit philosophical such as: Live The Universe and Everything. Various musings about the nature of consciousness and Science and Postmodernism

Mostly, this is where I can post things that I could get boring about.

About this site

I hope you find some interesting ideas here. I would welcome relevant comments, which will be moderated.

I have found in the past that it can be very useful to put an idea into words to a receptive listener, so you have already been useful by being part of an invisible audience. If you want to comment, please bear in mind that the process of invention requires a degree of suspension of judgement, so if you find anything laughable, I may be laughing with you.

If you spot an error then I would definitely like to know, particularly if you can quote references.

If you have had the same idea, congratulations, I would find that encouraging as it supports the view that the idea is a good one. If given a simple link to a clear description, I might give it a mention.

These days I am not particularly interested in claiming intellectual property rights, which means that any novel ideas originating from this site may be freely exploited. However, it would be nice to be recognised as the author.

This site

This site is my public notebook. It consists of a number of linked pages each dealing with a particular topic that I have been thinking about. I am still working on some of these pages and may make significant changes. I will log these changes in this post.
