Guess I'm a typical online geek.
My personal homepage has evolved more into a site focused on my musical activities: http://www.synaesmedia.net
As of 2021 I'm putting more effort into the Synaesmedia YouTube channel (mainly about various geek / software strategies for making music) : https://www.youtube.com/user/synaesmedia/videos
Meanwhile, my geek / programmer / wiki-obsessive / DigitalGardening and MindTrafficGeometry activities are mainly captured at http://sdi.thoughtstorms.info/
I was writing way too much on Quora : http://www.quora.com/Phil-Jones so, as of 2021, I've closed my account and given up.
I'm interested in, well, everything this wiki is about. But in summary ...
- Music. Especially electronic, experimental and outsider music, but also big tunes, melodic and easy listening. And generally thinking about "theory" of music (both socially and "musicologically")
- (See also PhilsMusic, PhilsFavouriteBands, MusicalStuff)
- Programming These days mainly interested in FunctionalProgramming, ClojureLanguage and logic / declarative languages like PrologLanguage
- (See also PhilsFavouriteProgrammingLanguages)
- DesktopFabrication / SoftwareThatMakesStuff Though this is rather on haiatus.
- Politics and Economics. Though this is perhaps unhealthy and I'm trying to give it up. The world keeps dragging me back.
- Simulation. I used to work with AgentBasedSimulations, did some research into CompetitiveNetworkFormation and helped found OPTIMAES to understand more about money and economics.
- I spent most of my 20s in academia thinking about ArtificialLife, PhilosophyOfMind, and particularly IndividualRecognition
- I rave about OrganicArchitecture and how good dense, complex urban environments are ... possibly because I've lived in Brasilia
- Occasionally I write about BlockChains and various innovations OnMoney, so for the sake of transparency, here's my CryptoDisclosure
My Software
A lot of my software can be found on GitHub : https://github.com/interstar or GitLab : https://gitlab.com/interstar
Current Software under active development
Haitus ... maybe I'm coming back to this at some point

Appearance
I hate photos of me, so if I have to post one, might as well be somewhere interesting. (Atacama Desert, Northern Chile, Jan 2004)

TopThoughts is a list of some of my "best" (ie. longer, more coherent) writings. These are a bit outdated though.
