Who I Am
What I Do
My Parallel Universe
email: ted@xanadu.net.  I can't reply to everything,
or answer questions that require long answers.  See my writings.
Or A BRIEF SUMMARY OF MY VIEWS
ON TODAY'S SOFTWARE DESIGN  (.avi format, 96k)
Everyone else in the computer field appears to think alike.
My computer paradigm is very different.  But has anyone understood?

Electronic media and hypertext are completely screwed up.
But this is hardly surprising, because the computer world itself
is completely screwed up, tangled in dumb decisions made long ago
which make it fundamentally a mess.  IT'S TIME TO START OVER.

An unsigned page at Ziff-Davis, excellently summarizing my work,
leads to a rather good streaming-video interview where I talk very fast
about my main stuff.  And Xanadu Australia has an excellent archive
of my work and other Xanadu-related materials.

CURRENT WORK:

• INLUV (Interactive Non-Linear Undo
and Versioning (formerly OSMIC)
A system of versioning and backtrack
that doesn't limit you to a simple-minded
linear model of time and improvement.
