More About John R Raymond
John grew up in Bumfuck USA in the 1980s and 90s making him both a Gen X asshole as well as a bleeding heart liberal Millennial. That means I want to tax all us rich picks and then spending it on the poor so as to advance cultural further than ever before. Call me names. I don't care. I don't see why fifty people own fifty percent or more of the USA and Earth.
Even More About John R Raymond
I was a tortured cubicle worker before I was a tortured artist. I worked what was supposed to be a nine to five but I had a sleeping problem (and later a drinking problem which I kicked. Crossed fingers.) The code and I worked well enough together that it usually didn't matter because my software got done. Hackity, hack, hack. All night long.
Too Much About John R Raymond
Sure I've done things. Sure. I wrote the Scarab Cycle. I studied things like neuroscience, mathematics, AI, and high performance computing for money... All but the mathematics part. No one paid me to study math. And if I am going to just say a bunch of uncorroborated things I might as well mention I did all this on campus at Microsoft, MIT, UCSF, and Harvard. Look it up. You'll see it on this page.
