Check out IPTQ.com, my big website about insulin potentiation therapy (IPT).  The information on that website could save the life of someone close to you, and could change the practice of medicine worldwide.

I gave a talk (read about it) about virtual information and the virtual information domain (Vid) at the Xerox PARC Forum on February 15, 2001.  
Watch it now on the Microsoft MURL website.  (100 KBps connection required).

Personal statement:  I am a generalist, interested and active in many realms.  After exploring and participating in a lot of fields, I find that they all begin to fit together in my life, intuition, comprehension, action, and experience.   For me, Stanford and the Bay Area and the Earth are a playground of endless fascinations.  I am delighted to have this chance to be alive, participate, and contribute.
