    We had a great weekend with everyone for Karen‘s 60th birthday party.

    We had a sauna and a swimming pool for people to jump in and take a cold plunge. The sauna is really healthy and something I’m going to try and do more often

    Karen is amazing. I love her so much and I would not be here without her. We all had a great time. Happy birthday Karen

  • Rise and fall of Civilzations

    Most of these oil paintings were done between 1992 and 1995 during my studies at Princeton. where I created a series of paintings that was intended to illustrate rise and fall of civilizations. It was also inspired by homer’s tale of the Odyssey.

    Oil on canvas. Traditionally where I would build the frame of the canvas and then coat them with white just to prepare the canvas. during 3rd year at Princeton I created a series of paintings that was intended illustrate rise and fall of civilizations.

    At the time I was very concerned about the impact that the oil and gas military Industrial complex would have on the planet

    So I was very passionate this time trying to warn people of the that we might be facing climate change.

  • Saturn S-3D Multiplayer

    Written by

    Last weekend, Sacha, my son and I created a simple two multiplayer 3D video game using an online AI assisted code writing and also with some help from my friend Geoff who helped us get our development environment all set up. It’s unbelievable how powerful it is. Click on the screen below to try it out!

    We managed to create an entire multiplayer game in 3-D for a web browser in just a couple hours. There’s a lot of fun to be had out there. the second game we built was a multiplayer light cycle game inspired by Tron where race each other On light cycle bikes.

    AI is not just for controlling nuclear missiles or replacing middle management and factory workers. Although it could do both at the same time and it would only take a few seconds for us to realize it has already happened.

    It has been a long year, but it has also been a beautiful and deeply educational experience,  I’ve been diagnosed with this terrible disease with no real cure however, that doesn’t actually mean that I’m actually going to die either so basically in the last year I’ve spent searching high and low for way to get better and at the same time begun the slow process of actually getting better

    Hope is one of the things I’ve learned but most importantly that I want to share is Love. Love for life. It holds everything together and without it I would not still be alive. I am so grateful for Karen and for her friends and from my friends and families, who have continuously come through to support me through these really really difficult times now at the end of another year,

    We are now moved into a beautiful new house in the rainforest valley full of deer elk bears chickens, cats dogs they’re all here but at the same time there’s a beautiful silence in the forest at this time of the year. It’s true nature and this energy and this true nature of the energy of the forest is really what’s keeping me alive I think and that’s why I’m still going to get better so I wish it was with both hands in the air or clapping instead it’s with voice to text that I am going to call in this new year.

    Rainforest light

    so I just want everybody to know that things really are as good as they possibly could be and I am so grateful for this present moment to be surrounded by wonderful people  

    wishing you good fortune And holiday fun for you and your family

  • Greece- Santorini

    After Tom and Kyle to returned to London I continued on another fantastic adventure traveling from island to island on my own Odyssey in 2000AD to visit Santorini and explore more ancient ruins and contemporary culture of Ios, Mikonos and Crete.

    The Greek Islands In the Mediterranean set the stage for a great summer. Whitewashed terraces with narrow staircases poached on the cliffs above the Mediterranean with the blue domes of the churches make an iconic landmark.

    I rented a motor scooter for the week and made some new friends.

    We could pick up a bottle of wine some fresh cheese and salami and have a picnic on the beach or go down the steps to one of many cafes and dine in style.

    My friends Kyle, Tom and Ish just picked me up from the Athens airport in the morning as promised.

    Acropolis Now

    We visited the Acropolis that sits overlooking the city of Athens.

    We went from the Parthenon to the Acropolis, visited the markets, museums and the new infrastructure recently installed after the summer Olympics of 1996.

    Epic journeys across time with good friends. And continue the Greek Odyssey into the islands.

    Crossing the Red Sea

    I then bought a ferry ticket into Jordan to Aqaba. I stayed one night in Aqaba and then headed to Wadi Rum in the desert.

    I spent a night with the Bedouin out under the stars, where we camped with a fire next to the rocks, the Jabel cliffs rising sheer from the desert floor.
