About this author




I spent the first half of this past February 14 watching my grandmother take her last labored breaths before going off to the great beyond.

Practical Applications of Game Theory. A Novel (Literature & Fiction)
1 chapters   —   updated Mar 24, 2010 06:38am
Description: This is chapter one of my second novel, for which I am currently seeking a publisher or literary agent. It's all about mathematics and prison. It's OZ for geniuses. Yes, it's got shower rapes AND advanced game theoretical analysis, all in one package. If any agents or publishers stumble across this and are interested in seeing more please contact me.
Motivation (Humor)
1 chapters   —   updated Mar 23, 2010 06:30pm
Description: This appeared in <i>Chess Life</i> about ten years ago. It was the first piece of writing I ever sold. They gave me $150. I was ecstatic. In my humble opinion, I think it's pretty funny. Chess players especially should enjoy it, I hope. Thanks for reading. Hope you like it.

McWilliams is an excellent researcher. He has some very worthwhile ideas. And he seems to have a genuinely balanced perspective. As unconventional as it is in our increasingly polarized society, he swims against the current of schismogenesis and atte...more

Ever wondered what might happen if your therapist was replaced by a pirate? Or how disquieting it would be to receive postcards from your future self? If William Shatner was elected President of the United States, what would his inaugural address sound like? Mark...more

This was captivating enough that I finished it the day after I got it from the library. It was my all-day companion to an all-day hangover, if you must know why the hell I was sprawled out on the couch from sun-up to sun-down reading a book. Thanks f...more

This book gave me a lot to not think about.

It's all there in the subtitle: the power of thinking without thinking. And while it was a fascinating read, it offered little of practical value, because, as some reviewers have noted, Gladwell outlines nu...more
