Table Of Contents



This is an old outline of what I was planning on putting on my personal web page. As you can see, a lot of entries are still without links—and they might never have one, because this outline is from 1997, and a lot of things have changed since then. E.g., how personal a personal web page can be, what you are supposed to make online and what not, especially if you live and work in the U.S.

Anyway, my homepage has three sections: The Past, The Present, and The Future.

Because The Past is big, it is subdivided into Personal, Professional, and Academic.

If you want to know what I have added recently, please go directly to the recent updates!

"...Besides having a past, maturity means cultivating that past, integrating former experiences—previous ways of being—into the ongoing psychic activity..." (Mihail Csikszentmihalyi, The meaning of things: Object relations, development of the self, p. 100. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1981.)
