Function Based Encryption - This is an
encryption algorithm I developed several years ago. I was reading
about a simple symmetric encryption system called Caesar's cipher when
I came upon this idea.
The Venice Site
- This is a travel-related site that I have put together for Venice,
California. It lists various places to stay and things to do. You'll
also find compilations of other useful and fun sites that I've found
interesting or that have been referred to me.
Time - This is an essay on the nature of
Time. I have long been curious about this elusive entity. From the
ancient philosophers to modern theoretical astrophysicists and
mathematicians, the essence of Time itself has been a most intriguing
subject. With some analysis and reflection upon this matter, I attempt
to form a plausible definition, as well as argue some points relating
to issues where I find conflict between a logical comprehension of the
essence of time and the understanding of the nature of time as
espoused by the theories of relativity.
On the Existence of God - This is a
loose collection of thoughts and arguments discussing this issue. I
believe that God exists, and that there are logical arguments that
give rational proof of God's existence, forcing any reasonable person
to accept the conclusions therein, as demanded by logic. The use of
logic merely guides us away from contradictions, leading us on a more
certain path toward truth and knowledge. I attempt to show that God
does indeed exist, and that most persons claiming to be atheists are
actually agnostics. Please reply via email. If I find your
contribution interesting, I will post it as appropriate.
The Theory of Relativity - This is also
a loose collection of thoughts on various issues concerning the Theory
of Relativity. I have long been curious about physical effects of
motion on the properties of a body. Certain parts of this discussion
are closely related to the essay on Time, above. But here, I place
greater attention on the nature of light instead of time. The Theory
of Relativity claims that the two are intrinsically linked by one of
nature's more subliminal forces, commonly known as gravity, but I
argue that these entities have no such relationship. I hope this will
be an ongoing discussion, and I will post replies as I see fit.
The Estate Collection - This site showcases artworks made by people with AIDS. In the summer of 1998, I worked on the LUNA ImageServer application utilized by the website. The ImageServer application is an advanced DHTML website that allows a user to inspect images in a GUI environment and obtain database information on the artists. This project was done for a company called Luna Imaging, which contracted the work to Technical Empowerment. Technical Empowerment is owned and run by Dr. Tony Karrer, a professor at LMU. The LUNA ImageServer Application is formally known as the Luna Insight Browser Application. A JAVA version of the software is also available for businesses and non-profit organizations.
