I am the president of ZOL Incorporated, a prototype R&D company. I founded the company to capitalize on my talent for designing mechanical devices and systems in general. I am able to produce working prototypes starting with nothing more than an idea of what the customer wants the device to do.

Most of the jobs I had before starting ZOL were in the R&D departments of manufacturing companies, usually machining. I have no educational credentials, but always did quite a bit of engineering work. Seeing first hand how management at businesses big and small squander the ingenuity of their employees was the main motivation for starting my own company.

The worst thing about being an employee is the drive home, in my opinion. The morning drive is bad enough, but at least you get to listen to Tom & Emily and you can save alot of time by leaving before the traffic lights switch to jam generator mode. After 3pm, forget it! The roads are parking lots and all the radio stations switch to a 'they're trapped in their cars so we can play 20 commercials then 1 song' format. Not that there aren't a bunch of things that can suck at the job itself, but the commute is what I hated most.

Pets? I got pets!

I grew up with cats, birds, snakes, lizards, fish, turtles, salamanders, plus alot of local wildlife. There are currently about 8 cats that like the food & lodgings here, plus a pond with a bunch of goldfish and some frogs. I feed the birds and squirrels every morning and the racoons and possums at nite.

When I'm not fighting the forces of darkness to drag the human race into a new era of lojik and sanity, or machining parts for inventors, I'm watching movies & TV shows. My recent favorites are Avatar, Terminator Salvation, Breaking Bad, Firefly, Lost, Battlestar Galactica, The Daily Show, Let The Right One In, Primer, Cloverfield, Iron Man 1&2.

The Future of Humanity

If the final criterion our society has for everything is popularity, we are doomed to fall. We will be overpowered by a superior society, not react correctly or quickly enough to a natural emergency, or simply stagnate and decline; one way or another, action will need to be taken but will not, simply due to insufficient popular support.

There's an embarrassing abundance of examples in America. Idiots and greedy cynics babble balderdash thru all forms of media and get rich because it's the balderdash their followers like to hear. Every day, great new inventions are shelved by overpaid unimaginative executives who can't think of a way to sell something that hasn't been done already. Excellent new TV shows get cancelled because they didn't instantly draw a huge audience. True leaders lose elections to career politicians who excell only at figuring out what voters want to hear.

Yes, this is an indictment of democracy and capitalism, at least as they are currently conducted. But more so, it's about flaws in human thought processes. The average person will usually choose not to make any sort of comprimise, alteration or expenditure for the greater good unless it becomes an immediate, serious and unavoidable personal problem. Familiarity and comfort make it easy to ignore both opportunity and evil.

Google my name or nooalf and visit some of the forums I have been promoting Nooalf in. You will find that I am regularly ridiculed for ridiculing the ridiculous. Proof that familiarity is the standard people use.

Beyond introducing a new spelling system, the Nooalf Revolution is about establishing lojik as the primary standard of acceptance. I believe that people who grow up in an intellectual environment that clearly favors lojik over nonsense will be able to guide the human race into a new era of peace, prosperity and adventure.
