Robert is currently working on three books: one a novel set in San Francisco during the dot.com boom; a collection of essays on workplace reality; and a book of blank verse sonnets.

Under yet another nom de plume, he is a musician and songwriter for the alternative rock band Acoustic Disturbance. He is also a traveler, a lover and explorer of the human condition.

He grew up in Silicon Valley, spent a few years in the wine country of Sonoma, then finally landed in San Francisco, the place he considers his home town. Leaving San Francisco along with all the other artists who found the city too high-priced for its o...more

Victor makes some decent inferences about the creation of a personality geared towards vengeful destruction, and provides credible supporting evidence to support a good part of his views. He seems to get a bit squeamish when talking about Hitler's se...more

“The gross national product does not allow for the health of our children, the quality of their education or the joy of their play. It does not include the beauty of our poetry, or the strength of our marriages, the intelligence of our public debate or the integrity of our public officials. It measures neither our wit nor our courage, neither our wisdom nor our devotion to our country. It measures everything, in short, except that which makes life worthwhile …”
Robert F. Kennedy
