• Keyboards for efficient input on PDAs. See some of the best keyboards. Words are formed by gliding the stylus from one letter to the next. The boards were formed using simulated annealing with letter frequencies from common English (s and z represent leading and trailing spaces, though either can be used for 'space', or a twiddle back over them for double space). Generally the keys naturally align themselves to a hexagonal grid.
• Document-in-progress describing my Constructed Written Language.
• Elegant model of the double pendulum, written using the scheme mechanics package.

• See my Study Group Ideas Page for random seminars and discussion groups that I am or have in the pass been interested in running, given sufficient interest.
• See my Projects Ideas Page for random ideas that I am not currently pursuing, but would be interested in working with others on, or seeing their progress occur.
• New Sliderule Design: Sliderules are in many ways as powerful as scientific calculators, capable of applying several functions and inverse functions. My idea is to have a paper-thin kind, formed with a opaque "back" and a transparent "window", with the same or similar functions. Functions can be applied by lining up the appropriate scales (rather than with a slider), and because the two can be disconnected, one can combine ideas from sectors for trigonometric functions. Here is C code to generate a Postscript file to be printed on paper and transparency. More scales/functions need to be added.
