ThoughtStorms Wiki :: PhilJones

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 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
• Programming (these days mainly interested in FunctionalProgramming, ClojureLanguage and logic / declarative languages like PrologLanguage
• DesktopFabrication / SoftwareThatMakesStuff (though this is rather on haiatus)
• Politics, though this is perhaps unhealthy and I'm trying to give it up.

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 These are a bit outdated though.

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

Music

I love music and occasionally write weird programs to compose it. (PhilsMusic, MusicalStuff)

Research and Simulation

I have an interest in, and used to work with AgentBasedSimulations

I did some research into CompetitiveNetworkFormation

I 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 (sometimes) live in Brasilia

Occasionally I write about BlockChains and various innovations OnMoney, so for the sake of transparency, here's my CryptoDisclosure

Health

I used to have SleepApnea and didn't get enough oxygen. But after having my tonsils removed and losing weight, this is much improved.

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)
