Ahhh, so I FINALLY convinced you to start posting eh?
>Art by M.C. Escher.
Ahh, nice choice. H.R. Giger is also pretty cool (of aliens and species
design lore).
>Architecture by Frank Lloyd Wright.
Does anyone know of a good webpage relating to this guy?

Same here. I was into all these ideas as far back as I can remember. I
wonder how many of the people on the list are the same way?

Agreed.
>Some will wonder why this my first post on the list for

I too followed extropianism for about a year via websites prior to my
subscription to the list.

Whenever you have the time, Feel free Wade.

Beware. Make sure there is no misinterpretation of any material on your
webpage especially regarding the modelling program. There have been website
bashings lately.
