About

Welcome to my official website and blog.

My blog is my hatchery for new ideas and rants. Many things I developed further started here. Many ideas I probably will never develop. Feel free to steal. Some day, you will be at the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony for some idea you stole from me. You’ll uneasily tell the audience about how you came up with the idea (based primarily on what you vaguely remember from my ancient post). Just as sweat beads down your face, a mysterious figure in the audience screams, “stop! I know the truth! I found the idea searching archive.org - this man got it from a Thomas J. Webb”. You then exclaim, “you can’t prove that!” and run out, fading until obscurity. But hey, you had a good run, right? So, reply to my posts and be merry, k?

This is also education for me. I read research papers (on biology, ecology, anthropology, the former being my field of study) and comment on them. Sometimes my comments are naïve. Sometimes they are rather astute. Sometimes both. If you’re a professor and you think what I’m writing is retarded, please help out and say so (and, more importantly, why). I learn by teaching, so some posts are explanations of things I just taught myself.

Also, please remember that the views and opinions expressed here are my own and do not represent in any way the nature of any organization I might be associated with (even my own enterprises).
