  1. Family, starting with Wini, the light of my life.

  2. Our friends at Kadon Enterprises make a fine collection of beautiful games and puzzles. They are a wonderful source of gifts for friends and family. No batteries are required, although curiosity and thought are!

  3. For golf instruction in the Monterey area, you can't do better than Ben Alexander. In the San Francisco Bay Area, the place to visit is The Golf Lab (Leith Anderson), now co-resident with Balbi Golf (David Balbi).

  4. Got balls? Here is a description of our latest project, the construction of a backyard Bocce Court.

  5. Interested in the original "Barbecue Joe?" Hint: Dixieland Music is involved!

  6. No tool kit would be complete without the French Army Knife. And if you think Hummers are for wimps, I may have a mailbox for you.

  7. Here's an interesting video clip featuring my namesake. We're the one in the yellow silks.

  8. Richard Feynman and my dad overlapped at my alma mater, Far Rockaway High School. Visit this link to see some photos we took on a sentimental journey in 2001.

  9. COMAP's educational philosophy is centered around mathematical modeling: using mathematical tools to explore real-world problems. Have a look at their stuff.  

  10. World going to hell in a hand basket? Can't do anything about it? Wrong! Make a difference in one child's life: learn about CASA and CASA in Monterey County.

  11. Do you have problems solving problems? Would you like a more systematic approach? Have a look at my problem-solving clock.

  12. Is "growth" good or bad? Does growth inevitably lead to decline? Healthy organizations tend to grow, but can their very growth threaten their success and even their continued existence? Investigate this further.

  16. Do you believe in the "80/20 Rule"? Sometimes it doesn't work.

  17. My Erdös Number is five. On the other hand, my "Bacon Number" is infinite. What conclusions can we draw about entertainers and mathematicians by looking at the distribution of these numbers? Have a look. The interesting stuff is at the end of the Erdös Number page.

  18. Been draggin' lately? Have a dragon look you over. With thanks to John Walker.

  19. Here's a neat new way to compute pi. There's an additional side benefit if you hover the cursor over it.

    Also allows you to compute the nth hexadecimal digit of pi without computing all the others

    The interesting details can be found here.

  21. If you are a member of the IEEE and are interested in why software tools have a tough time getting adopted in the business world, check out this article by my friend Eugene Farmer from the November/December 2006 issue of IEEE Software. (The article is a paid link for non-members; the IEEE has to recover its costs.)

  22. Ravenflow was the 2006 winner of the Silicon Valley Business Journal's Emerging Technology Award in the Collaboration category. Here's the announcement.

  23. Are you interested in the "Agile Method" for doing software development? Here is something you might find thought provoking.

  24. Ravenflow received the prestigious 2007 SD Times 100 award in the Modeling category.

  25. Barbecue Joe retired from Ravenflow in February 2008. In March 2011 the company was acquired by Versata.

The Stomachion

Back to Top

Archimedes was without a doubt the greatest Sicilian who ever lived. Yes, he is thought of as Greek, but he was born and lived almost all his life in Syracuse, on the island of Sicily. He was the best mathematician of antiquity, and invented a form of integral calculus over eighteen hundred years before Newton and Leibniz. He also pioneered the science we know today as physics. One can only speculate how much further along we would be today if his works had not been lost for hundreds of years during the Dark Ages.

Link to The Stomachion

We now also believe that he was the first mathematician to broach the subject of combinatorics, one of the bedrocks of computer science. And how do we know this? Because of a puzzle he took an interest in over two hundred years before the birth of Christ.

Click on the picture of The Stomachion to learn more.

And celebrate "Worldwide Archimedes' Day" on June 5th!
