Welcome to The Thought Fractal (dot com), my portfolio website.
I am a writer and journalist with a unique and diverse background in the sciences and arts. This site initially was a portfolio for some of my work, but will hopefully evolve into something that is truly a fractal of thought. Enjoy your visit and I always appreciate feedback on my work.
Updates/Blog

So I just had the idea that I ought to post my very first blog entry on my thoughts at the present moment. Which are scattered and varied, very widely so. I wish they weren't so. Because I am supposed to be concentrating on my pertinent work. Which is of a very urgent nature. And complex. In my mind at least. I know I'm procrastinating.
The thought of posting a blog entry on my site popped into my consciousness and I cleverly hastily briefly deduced that it would make a great finishing touch on my so-close-to-being-done-but- always-never-quite-good-enough- and-therefore-will-never-see-the-light-of-day (of the Internet) portfolio website. A showcase of (like my thoughts) my highly varied and scattered talents. And I, for a fleeting moment, thought that a potential employer browsing would be amused at the irony of my present activity. I shall attempt to simplify the situation in my mind.
Writing a blog to post on my site to impress potential employers who may have somehow stumbled upon it and, on deciding the really neat ink-pot graphic was clever enough to warrant further perusal of aforementioned site, make the very wise choice of employing yours truly for a considerable length of time, and for an even more considerable compensation :) - GOOD
Getting distracted by writing, when I should really be getting the technical glitches fixed ASAP.
(the writing won't be any good if some obscure version of browsers that shall remain unnamed that my potential employer has so wisely decided to use refuses to display the page) – BAD
And then I had the another thought – would it be a good thing if the above mentioned potential employers, always wise albeit with a different definition of humour, thought this very blog was a reflection of my personal work ethic, or worse – my life! Is writing about how I'm not doing the work that is necessary to find work that will depend on my writing quality which can only be assessed if I write, a good thing?
Terribly confusing to some, perhaps. But really it's just procrastinating. I wonder how long blog entries should be. Not very long, I imagine. I usually end when it starts sounding like having a forced conversation with yourself. Trying not to offend the other, very much like in a chance meeting with someone that you are not very familiar with and don't care for much, and the other person feels the same way too, and you both know it, but you both just smile and nod, and have a pained discourse that covers every inanity short of “My, what about this weather we are having.”
“Gee, look at the time. Time flies faster these days, don't you think.”
“Yes, it must be all that global warming making the earth spin faster on its axis.”
“My yes. What is this weather we are having...”

Well, I was going to write about how I've been fiddling with the little details of my website, which I am very pleased to have up and running, but then I changed my mind. I am working to include a form and non-Flash versions of my galleries, so they can be more accessible.
I wonder who reads these. These blogs. Lots of people, I would imagine. That's why they are so popular. Now that was an astute observation. I think I ought to get back to work, presently.

Okay, so I've finally put in a feedback form in the About/F.A.Q page. Or you could just click here. And now we play the waiting game...
And yes, I am working on the new photo galleries.

Gosh, it's been a while, hasn't it? Not to worry, as I was keeping busy with my OTHER blog. Honestly. It goes by the same name, and if you can find it, tell your friends. Also, I was kept away by my hectic work, but those days are over, for now. The thought fractal is now expanding once again. (In other words, I'm planning new and exciting plans, so keep in touch!)

Okay, so I've finally (finally) added the non-flash version of my puny photo gallery. Now, to do the same for the other minuscule collection of graphics. I would have done it even sooner, if I'd realized the boring parts were already done. (By whom?) Me, probably. Long forgotten, but not unappreciated. All resized and ready to go! Whee!
Although, I think, I shall soon redesign the whole site. For fun. And laughter. And happiness, and joy, joy. It will be the same, but different. Like looking at parts of a fractal. Wow. Maybe it is bedtime.

Well, I have been doing much tinkering, on and off the site. For now, I have updated my resume page with a detailed (painful, almost...) CV and versions of resumes for download. It would be nice to be employed soon (as opposed to not so soon, which would wouldn't be very peachy.)
