My current focus is on MeshForum a conference on Networks which I started in 2004. MeshForum 2007 will be end of May in the Bay Area, contact me if you are interested in attending, speaking at, or sponsoring MeshForum. At MeshForum 2007 I will likely discuss my own research on Economics as Networks, a book on which I am in the process of writing.

My company's site is JigZaw.com. We are a San Francisco based software and consulting firm. Feel free to take a look and check out the live demonstration of Decisa: Contract Compliance software. We are available for custom software development and technology consulting.

JigZaw has developed AI based software for Information Extraction and Integration - that is, our software can automatically transform website data sources into a data feed for an application. Our technology is primarily sold on an OEM basis, but we are also available to implement it as a part of a contract development project.

In partnership with an East Coast based business consulting company we also provide Six Sigma and Balanced Scorecard consulting services. We are partnered with an Israeli firm in offering advanced AI based knowledgebase technology capable of modeling anything from scheduling applications to reinsurance risk portfolios.

If you need recommendations in Chicago or San Francisco either for business questions or for restaurants or places to see and do also feel free to contact me.

My personal interests are quite varied ranging from Business (read too many mags), Science Fiction (ask me about conventions sometime), Writing, AI, Computer programming, Chess, Cooking, to Archealogy and Medieval Near Eastern History (what I actually studied while at the U. of Chicago).

I'm a former editor of some IETF standards and an active member of the CALSCH (Calendaring and Scheduling working group) - take a look at what we are developing at www.calsch.org the website for the working group.

I am also a very active member of Minciu Sodas a research lab devoted to Caring about Thinking. A number of people here at Ryze are also members.

I keep a sproradic blog at SearchingForTheMoon.wordpress.com, please check it out and give me comments.

From August of 2002 until Jan of 2004 I was the Events chair for Ryze in Chicago.

Please sign my guestbook! And feel free to contact me, I'm a big believer in networking and discussions on and off line.
