| Introduction | I spend a lot of time musing. My day job offers many opportunities to meet people and see a wide spectrum of environments and problems, but it's the social time with friends, reading many books and many kinds of books, watching movies, learning and thinking about mathematics, physics, linguistics, philosophy, history and lots of other stuff that is the real stimulus. |
