The many and I hope engaging essays on this website were written be me, Ptolemy Tompkins, and their contents and the opinions expressed are my sole responsibility. The website was designed and executed by a handful of very talented (and patient) individuals intent on keeping me at least tenuously tethered to the 21^stCentury. Most especially: the staff at LucidCircus, Simon Lackovic (Senior Designer) and Ezra Cohen (Producer).  The site’s Co-Producer and Webmaster is my friend of many years, Richard Ryan, who remains dedicated to its upkeep.  Thanks to all involved.
