OTHER WRITING
My book on effective learning and how it can be applied with computers (specifically Square One's Phoenix Program which I helped design) is called Power-Learning: Developing Effective Study Skills (Merced, CA: Educational Operating Systems, 1992).
As a technical writer I have also been the principle writer and editor of several software manuals, two guides for computer-based training (CBT) programs, the on-screen text for almost 100 CBT lessons and the translation of dozens of production and maintenance manuals into multimedia environments.
I have published numerous articles on social and scientific issues in political journals and popular magazines such as Punch, in the U.S., England, Spain, and the Czech Republic; co-authored three booklets on community organizing, and authored an unpublished novel and a dozen short stories, two published ("Limits of Faith" in Chinquapin, 1986 and “Etiology of Infomania” for the Lifeboat Foundation. I continue to write fiction.

OTHER WRITING
My book on effective learning and how it can be applied with computers (specifically Square One's Phoenix Program which I helped design) is called Power-Learning: Developing Effective Study Skills (Merced, CA: Educational Operating Systems, 1992).
As a technical writer I have also been the principle writer and editor of several software manuals, two guides for computer-based training (CBT) programs, the on-screen text for almost 100 CBT lessons and the translation of dozens of production and maintenance manuals into multimedia environments.
I have published numerous articles on social and scientific issues in political journals and popular magazines such as Punch, in the U.S., England, Spain, and the Czech Republic; co-authored three booklets on community organizing, and authored an unpublished novel and a dozen short stories, two published ("Limits of Faith" in Chinquapin, 1986 and “Etiology of Infomania” for the Lifeboat Foundation. I continue to write fiction.
