I am Australian, in my fifties (the best decade yet), and work in information technology.

I'm interested in the emergence and preservation of complexity and diversity.

I would like to: expand the self; fight entropy; create meaning.

(Entropy is putting up quite a struggle.)

Some day I hope to have more time to help with Wikipedia.
