"Graphic Reading is the experience of reading scrolling text against an unobtrusive, slow scrolling or undulating background. It is my belief that it engages the reader's subconcious in a harmless manner which enriches the reading process." -- CJM
When you are reaching 60 in this day and age, you get the feeling that all of us have been riding a societal wave of ground-breaking technologies almost all our lives. After graduating from Simon Fraser University, my once-"radical" alumni during the Vietnam War, I designed language lab cassette tapes at teacher colleges in far-away Thailand. Next, I helped bring computer instruction to remote Canadian Native communities.Now, I am building "worlds" in virtual reality, not to mention showcasing classic literature and some of my own writings in what I call "Graphic Reading Modules" (a superficial but painstaking modification of a popular ebook format) all of which, I believe, "biomechanically" optimizes, via a right-brain / left brain dynamic, our thinking processes.
In 1986, I wrote and locally self-distributed a short novel about a test missile crash. When a test missile did crash, as test missiles are apt to do, an Edmonton Sun reporter suggested in his column that I was a prophet-- small town, that Edmonton!
I then moved to Montreal, adopted a nom de plume, and spent several years writing some speculative histories re: Princess Diana and some other celebrities. Then, Princess Diana died, and my website, then titled Abbacy of the Holy Blood / Holy Grail Eugenic Mermaid Brides (under the nom-de-plume), was linked from a "World's 60 Greatest Conspiracies" Diana- assassination page and hailed on Paramount's nationally televised U.S. news magazine Strange Universe (The Fox Network) as one of the Internet's "ten best and/or strangest paranormal websites".
What a life!
