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
