People keep asking me about Tiny Basic, so I started up a page to collect the information available, including some downloads from my archives. Alas, most of it is on paper tape, which I can no longer read. You might also be interested in HTML copy of "A Short Course in Programming" for the 1802 microprocessor. It's not TinyBasic, but it's basic and tiny.
About the same time as Tiny Basic, I wrote a video game for a Hong Kong
manufacturer. For what I can remember of it, see Tennis.
You can also find software emulators on the collector
sites.
This
cartoon resonates with me. I don't remember where I first saw it, but I
liked it so much I commissioned a local artist to recreate it (perfectly
legal, because she never saw the original, so it's not a "copy" in the
sense of copyright). Sometimes I feel like the gun vendor trying to help
people win their battles; other times, like the lord of the castle, I feel
too overwhelmed by my own battles to look aside at new ideas. I hope not
too often. This section is about some of those other things.
The Revolving Church Door is a collection
of essays originally intended to represent one side of controversial or
debatable topics, for the purpose of helping people to think about the
issues involved, plus a few introspective meditations that I didn't know
where else to put. Unfortunately, people don't want to analyze the issues.
There was no debate. Maybe taking some of these positions in a public forum
contributed to my termination at SBU, but I doubt it.
Rev. 2008 March 25
Half of the American people are MBTI Thinkers.
The American evangelical church is controlled and operated
exclusively by and for the benefit of the other half.
What are you doing to make Thinkers welcome in the church?
