  • My Simulations

    Over the years I’ve done a few agent based simulations to look at questions that interest me. Here’s a quick Bootstrap page to get at them.

  • Strapdown.js

  • Dog : A Social Language

  • Smart Notebooks

    An intriguing Kickstarter project. Seems that Smallest Federated Wiki would be a good starting point for this.

Got any book recommendations?
