Unless he is writing with Larry Niven, he is not exactly my cup of tea in fiction. That said, the Niven / Pournelle book Mote in God's Eye is one of my very favorite SF books. Jerry, on his own, as you say, is a super-geek, which is very cool. :) I have met Jerry Pournelle several times, and read him in Byte for years.

You may have found him on-line, or not, but Jerry Pournelle has an interesting web presence. He wrote for BYTE for many years and writes Science Fiction, as I'm sure you know. Always has interesting stuff. http://jerrypournelle.com/ I send in a "subscription" of about $20 a year and get to read some "extra" stuff. I have not been reading him much in the past few month.

Yet, my Dad's lifework of paintings and photography left a beautiful legacy that I and others appreciate every day. We all have something that defines our lives and yours is, with no doubt, writing and sharing yourself through your writing!
