I began using a motion picture camera in my research, took it home to do my own "underground" films, hooked up with other film makers, was invited to join a production company and, much to the consternation of my program adviser, left the psychobiology Ph.D. program (and the grant money) before completing my dissertation. I relocated to San Francisco in 1970 and - part time - to Prescott, Arizona in 2007. Along with a widely varied film and video production career all these years, I have continued my reading, speculating and writing re the "Big Questions".

In my writings TOE stands for Theater of
Everything, which winds up containing a Theory of Everything. I have long been accused of being a Toeist, so here I am...
