Me in Print

Written about Me

I'm referred to in a couple of books: My Tiny Life, by Julian Dibbell; and Healing Dreams, by Marc Barasch. My Tiny Life is Dibbell's account of his online exploits at LambdaMOO, a social object-oriented multiuser community. Yes, I had a character on LambdaMOO for awhile, named Klaatu, after the Christ-like alien in The Day the Earth Stood Still. In Dibbell's book, he uses the pseudonym Nicto for my online pseudonym Klaatu.

Healing Dreams is a look at the unanalyzable, subconscious power of dreams. Barasch had a malignant tumor that was discovered because of a dream he had. I found a note on my chiropracter's bulletin board, asking for dream experiences. The note turned out to be from Marc. He interviewed me a couple of times, and that's how a couple of short bits from my dream life wound up in his book.


Written by Me

I've written a couple articles for TMI Focus, the quarterly newsletter of The Monroe Institute.. Two are still available online: "A Journey Inward to Wholeness," in the Winter/Spring 2008 issue; and "Shaman's Heart: The Power of Listening," in the Summer/Fall 2009 issue.

I occasionally submit a dream to the Lucid Dream Exchange, an ezine devoted to lucid dreaming.

I've compiled and edited a collection of material from the Folies du Tous, titled All the Folies of the Folies du Tous.

I've put a revised version of my play, Parodos, online.
