A Short History of Me
Hello out there! My name is Andrew. I graduated from School Without Walls, Rochester, New York in 1991. Unfortunately, I didn't find out about this great school until the end of my Sophomore year, so I was only there for two years. While there, though, I picked up a wealth of great experiences and one excellent speech given by the founder of the school, Lew Marks, at the 1987 graduation before he retired.

If you have GnuPG/PGP and wish to send me an encrypted message or verify my signature, my PGP public key is here.

Academic papers I have written are available here.

Visit my new For Sale page with lots of various things for sale. You fill in the price.

If you really want to know more about me (probably more than you want to know), you can start by reading some of my journals. I'm adding them to my page entry-by-entry, starting from 1992. My profile page also has more tame details about me.

My Interests

One of my latest interests is photography. The picture above is a self-portrait made with my Minolta Maxxum 400si on Kodak T-Max 100. It was printed in my darkroom on Polymax RC paper with a 5+ contrast filter. Take a look at my photo gallery for some of my photographic work. More pictures will follow.

I also do some music work. Mostly ambient music so far. You can download and listen to it if you like.

Buffett.turnquist.name is my computer. It now runs SuSE Linux . It has been on the Internet since about 1994 (previously known as buffett.eznet.net) and is currently connected via DSL.

I've started to write some Linux Notes about solutions to problems I've had, in the hope that they will be helpful to other Linux users.

As you might guess from the machine name, I am a big fan of Jimmy Buffett. I have almost every CD so far, plus the LP Before the Salt, and love them all.

I Time Warp'd from June of 1996 through 1997 at the Rochester Rocky Horror Picture Show. I still get warped sometimes.

Some scattered bits of philosophy are here.

Hasta la euphoria, baby!
