Wilcox's resumeStuff other people have written:Our Town by the Sea.A transcript of the movie Zero Hour!.Snoopy and the Red Baron, an ASCII art comic bymy dad. He wrote it in the 1960s, so for all I know it was actually EBCDIC art.Remember to view this file in a monospace font!My mom's baby pictures.Short descriptions of some of the above stuff I've written:Roger M. Wilcox proudly presents ... (drum roll) ...The Internet StellarDatabase! Get all the latest dirt on your favorite stars! Buildyour own interstellar empire and save a bundle! Science fictionenthusiasts especially will find this site a welcome relief from all the toilthey usually have to exert just to find out seemingly straightforward facts,like how long the "year" would be on an earthlike planet orbiting Sirius B, orhow far it is from Alpha Centauri to Wolf 359.There are a couple of less-than-popular movies that I really really like.Take a look, for example, at my Highly UnofficialLogan's Run FAQ. And if that's not enough for you, take a lookat my Shallow Hal gushing fan page.And don't say I didn't warn you.Don't be fooled by the Photon Conspiracy! Read the truth aboutDark Sucker Theory! And while you'reat it, consider a membership in TheInternational Square Earth Society.That Wacky Century: a look back at those fondmemories of the Century 1901-2000.That Wacky Millennium: a look back at thosefond memories of the Millennium 1001-2000.Thinking about renouncing your Social Security number? Did an articlecalled "The Story of the Buck Act" convince you? Well, don't believe astory just because it sounds attractive. ReadDebunking "The Story of the Buck Act" for a lessconspiratorial treatment of 4 USC 105-110.On a related, but somewhat more subdued note, you also might want to find outWhy You Shouldn't "Trust" Trust EducationalServices or National Trust Services.And speaking of debunking, I've also ventured into taking on the mountain ofpseudoscience and pseudotheories that is Orgonomy. Read my ever-expandingSkeptical Scrutiny of the Works and Theories ofWilhelm Reich. Warning: Reich's life works covered a lot ofdifferent topics, so in order to be thorough, this series of debunking articlesof mine is looooooooooooooooong.The Year 2000 Problem wasn't the only time-bomb lurking in most software.The next critical year is 2038, for reasons quite different from the onescausing the so-called Millennium Bugs. Read about it inThe Year 2038 Problem.A few of my old stories are now available on-linein their own little web-cubby hole, including Gaea's Rising, the 1985rewrite of Tracer, and a host of other (ahem) immortal classics.I used to play a superhero role-playing game called Champions . A lot. So much so that my stack of character sheetsgrew to over an inch-and-a-half thick. Of my Champions characters, Tracer (the4th one I ever made) was my favorite so much so that I wrote anear-novelette-length account of his origin story, and ended up using "tracer"as my favorite online username, nickname, and/or handle.Some of my parody screenplays can be seenon-line, as well. None of these were ever intended for actual movie or TVproduction, of course.For those of you dying for the glorious sounds of my singing voice accompanyingmy unforgettable classic original songs, I've done the next best thing: I'vecompiled a MIDI sing-along page containing MIDI files ofsongs I've written along with lyrics for those songs, so you can sing along andimagine it's my voice you're hearing.I have some audio cassettes in my collection that contain music recordednowhere else. Now, some of these are available in digital-audio formaton my Digital-audio rescue page. I'vealso recorded some of my songs which have never been on cassette or anyother analog medium before; these are on my Digital-audiorecordings page.But for a real blast from my literary past, you AD&D fans should take a ganderat my Intercontinental Union of Disgusting Characterswebpage. It's got murder. It's got mystery. It's gotromance. It's got disgustingly powerful characters, the kind only amunchkin would enjoy role-playing, beating the crap out of one another.Did you know there's a sequel on this page, and character sheets for all themajor characters, too?I also have a little repository here devoted to some of the oldTRS-80 adventure games I wrote and then ported to Windows.Hnakra Wars: The wargame based on C.S. Lewis'sOut of the Silent Planet. Sort of.Death Munchkin! is a role-playing game I'mstill in the process of developing. It's my attempt to make SteffanO'Sullivan'sFUDGEsystem amenable to munchkin-style powergaming.The Pentagon War is a sciencefiction novel I've tried off-and-on to write ever since 1980. It's stillnowhere near being finished yet. Meanwhile, ThePentagon War game was a game based on The Pentagon War. Ibegan writing the game in 1983, and have never really finished it,either. The game system borrows heavily from Task Force Games' StarFleet Battles.I used to think rec.arts.tv.mst3k.misc resembles rec.humor. Now I thinkit more closely resembles alt.romance.chat. See what I mean by reading mylist of The Real-Life Romances ofr.a.t.m.m.Arenak World: Answers the immortal question, "What ifE.E. 'Doc' Smith's arenak was for real?"Vegetable-Free Living: Don't like vegetables?You shouldn't have to like them! Vegetables are evil, and you can do justas well without them.The Challenge of the SuperFriends episode reviews:I picks up where Jabootu's Nuggets section left off.Roger M. Wilcox's biographical articles: For those of youwho just can't get enough of me.And, of course, what self-respecting software geek's homepage would be completewithout a copy of his resume?Send comments regarding this Web page to:Roger M.
