Practical Common Lisp
This page, and the pages it links to, contain text of the Common Lisp book Practical Common Lisp published by Apress These pages now contain the final text as it appears in the book. If you find errors in these pages, please send email to book@gigamonkeys.com. These pages will remain online in perpetuity—I hope they will serve as a useful introduction to Common Lisp for folks who are curious about Lisp but maybe not yet curious enough to shell out big bucks for a dead-tree book and a good Common Lisp tutorial for folks who want to get down to real coding right away. However, don't let that stop you from buying the printed version available from Apress at your favorite local or online bookseller. For the complete bookstore browsing experience, you can read the letter to the reader that appears on the back cover of the treeware edition of the book.

Measuring Measures: Learning About Statistical Learning
I get a lot of inbound requests for book recommendations from people who want to either get into research, or better understand it so they can build high quality supporting systems for research and analytics.  The typical desire is participate in some form of what statisticians call inference, or what machine learning people call learning (the two are more or less the same).

Sei Shonagon
Makura no soshi (Pillow book) is made up of about 320 separate sections: reminiscences; opinions and imaginative sketches; and lists, some with comments, others merely lists of words. The datable sections are not in chronological order, and since the earliest extant manuscript dates from the 1500s, we have no way of knowing if the current order of the sections represents Shonagon's plan.

The Agrippa Files
Agrippa (a book of the dead) appeared in 1992 as a collaboration between artist Dennis Ashbaugh, author William Gibson, and publisher Kevin Begos, Jr. The Agrippa Files is a scholarly site that presents selected pages from the original art book; a unique archive of materials dating from the book’s creation and early reception; an emulation of Gibson’s included poem in its original born-and-die-digital form (it ran from a diskette once before encrypting itself into oblivion); a simulation of what the book’s intended “fading images” might have looked like; a video of the 1992 “transmission” of the work; a “virtual lightbox” for comparing and studying pages; full-text scholarly essays and interviews; an annotated bibliography of scholarship, press coverage, interviews, and other material; a detailed bibliographic description of the book; and a discussion forum.

Simulation software for Complex Adaptive Systems
I have developed several computer simulations for an undergraduate course I teach at Indiana University called "Complex Adaptive Systems." The course deals with systems that evolve and adapt over time. Psychology, computer science, economics, biology, and neuroscience depend upon a deeper understanding of the mechanisms that govern adaptive systems. A common feature of these systems is that organized behavior emerges from the interactions of many simple parts. Ants organize to build colonies, neurons organize to produce adaptive human behavior, and businesses organize to create economies. To address the essential question of "What are the properties of complex adaptive systems?," case studies of several systems are explored: chaotic growth in animal populations, human learning, cooperation and competition within social groups, and the evolution of artificial life. The central thesis is that widely different systems share fundamental commonalities.
