Hi, I am Brian Wilson and this is my Wiki.

Feel free to contact me by sending mail to brian at wildsong.biz

You can call me at 541-368-4120. It is a Packet 8 Internet phone, but it works just like an old-fashioned phone for most people. You can also call me on this cellular phone which is often near me: 707-888-6658. Pretty soon I will have several other amazingly weird Internet phone numbers for you to explore.

It's all out there

Japanese computer trivia test: What was MSX?

I wrote this game in 1983! It's still out there somewhere.

I found it on this picture of the MSX version here: http://www.funet.fi/pub/msx/graphics/jpg/gamecovers/

Hmm. That site is in Finland. I wonder how MSX and Bug Bomb fared in enchanting Suomiland.

Next question: What is a NEC PC-6001?

I wrote some games for it, so I googled it and found this picture. That's Bug Bomb again on the upper left. On cassette.

The site is http://www1.harenet.ne.jp/~m-toyota/pc6001/pc6001.htm

Perambulations

I just came across my collection of Monterey pictures, I have to figure out the best way to create photo galleries in the Wiki. (I guess that comment belongs down below in the TODO section.) Anyway, so here we go.

Bike tour: Scotland/England

Santa Rosa

I went to Stockholm for Coactive Networks. I lost most of the photos I took in a hard drive crash.

I found this picture of a street in Gamlastan which I used for an article on image servers; that's why it has the control bar at the bottom.

Bike tour: Pacific coast

Summer 2002 Victoria, Bellingham, Port Townsend, to coast and south to Gold Beach

Monterey

August 2002-June 2003

In the 2002/2003 academic year, I attended classes at CSU Monterey Bay, in Seaside California. My wife and I lived on campus in student housing. I worked for the Seafloor Mapping Lab and the Watershed Institute.

Julie worked for the Monterey Bay Aquarium, California State Parks (doing restoration), and the Elkhorn Natives Nursery (mostly propagation). And of course she turned our tiny backyard from a rectangle of sand into a paradise.

More place holders: :-)
