What is time?

Posted in Essays, My Philosophical Essays on December 4th, 2005.

What is time?
Often the immediate concept that comes to mind is a clock, watch or a calendar, but what really is time?
This is perhaps a very confused subject and you often hear: “I have no time.”, “Time is money.”, “I need to be on time” and so on.

Future of written communication and keyboards

Posted in Future/Sci-Fi on November 27th, 2005.

Some days ago I figured about how the future keyboards will work.
Communication has to do with getting an idea across to another person.

My Dream

Posted in Essays, My Plans, Philosophy on January 29th, 2004.

It is in my belief that creation, imagination, future-speculations and demonstrations concerning the deep philosophical questions are a much higher activity of man and I consider it one of his superior virtues.

About Stereotype Fiction Stories

Posted in About writing on January 1st, 2004.
