Sometimes a web site presents an article or information that is useful to the reader. Though the information is there, it can be hard to find. The problem is that a keyword or phrase search of millions of sites generally yields poor results. This site is self indexed through a service provided by Atomz.com. This feature, through the Search This Site link, lets users scan my site for words or phrases without the clutter that comes from a world wide or an Internet service provider search.

This site contains three volumes. The largest volume at my site is The Abused Men's Area. Domestic violence is a serious social problem that affects everyone in some way. Society and public policy often ignore the fact that women abuse men. Though false allegations of child abuse continue to be a common feature in divorce proceedings, our courts continue in ignoring this problem. False accusations of domestic violence have become a woman's weapon of choice and again the courts ignore the problem that some women are abusive and violent and do lie. So, I have devoted this volume to abused men and their family and their friends.

A smaller volume is Dusty's Area. Dusty is a grey male cat with an attitude. We first met on 14 June 1993 and he viewed me with suspicion and distrust. Some cats are cautious around those they do not know. Dusty had a reason to be distrustful, a woman had abused him.

Later that month I heard a crash, some workmen had failed to properly stack the firewood and close the door to the woodshed. I found Dusty buried under a stack of upset firewood and I dug him out. Since then, he is a loyal pal.

I liked the way Dusty approached life as a cat and I began sketching cartoons of Dusty and shared them with others. They liked them. In fact, Dusty turned out to be a real charmer. I will add new material, from time to time, to this volume.

The third volume is My Resume. I attended Sonoma State College and earned my Baccalaureate in Physical Science and Mathematics in 1968. I then enlisted in the United States Air Force. Within eight weeks of basic training and officer hold, this service assigned me to test and document computer program elements for the Space Defense Center. Later, I designed new computer programs that took advantage of the latest methods to meet the ever increasing requirements of the Space Defense Center. The Space Junk article appearing in the December 2000 issue of Astronomy describes some of those requirements and briefly hints at some of the work we did. Since then, I have designed or debugged thousands of computer functions, procedures, subroutines, and programs for many companies.

This site will change as I remove obsolete information, add new information, or correct errors. I do try to proofread my material for errors and another set of eyes are always welcome.
