I am Australian, in my fifties (the best decade yet), and work in information technology. I'm interested in the emergence and preservation of complexity and diversity. I would like to: expand the self; fight entropy; create meaning. (Entropy is putting up quite a struggle.)

Some day I hope to have more time to help with Wikipedia. So far, since starting in July 2004, I've made modest contributions to the articles on
 * Affluenza
 * The Alexandria Quartet (1000th edit 2006-07-02)
 * Arne Næss
 * Beached whale
 * Cognitive therapy
 * Deep ecology (cited above)
 * Effects of global warming
 * Experience curve effects
 * Growth Fetish
 * Gulf Stream
 * Historicism
 * History of aesthetics (pre-20th-century)
 * James Croll
 * Jane Jacobs
 * Lawrence Durrell
 * Milankovitch cycles
 * Power law
 * Self-organization and Self-organized criticality
 * Spaceship Earth
 * Thomas Berry
 * W. H. Auden
 * Warwick Fox
