I Have a Different Relationship With TIME Than Most People. I Like to Program My Computer so I Spend a LOT of Time IN THE ZONE. Or As My Computer Science Teacher Said:

You Work on a Project for an Hour and Then Look at the Clock and Four Hours Have Passed... That's Also True For Designing Math WINPLOT Shapes... I Have to Write Formulas and Equations to Control Where the Lines are Drawn... and That's Tricky!

UFO - Four Way Windowpane - WINPLOT - gvan42

Bottom Line: I Spend The Vast Majority of My Life PLUGGED IN... Experiencing Time Distortion Effects... What if I Spend 20 Years Doing This? or 30 Years? 

I also Spend a Lot of Time Designing Artwork and MEMEs in Paint Dot Net and GIMP... Then I Upload my Work to Zazzle where I Sell Coffee Cups and Buttons and T-Shirts With My Art Painted on Them...  I enjoy doing that so... as They Say... "Time Flies When You're Having Fun." TRUE!

And I Write My Opinions, Fiction, Autobiography and Jokes - then Publish My Words on 12 Different Social Media Platforms and Blogs... and Sing my Songs on Youtube... I Get About a Thousand Visitors a Day... Maybe as much as Two Thousand Visitors a Day... 

Everything I'm Interested in is Open 24 Hours a Day. The Kitchen at Home is Open. The Internet is Open. My TV Works 24/7/365... I Have Electric Lights so Night and Day Have NO REAL MEANING... Yes, The Care Givers at My Old Folks Home Serve Breakfast Lunch and Dinner at Set Times. and If I'm Asleep They Will Wake Me Up. and They WILL Not Make Coffee until after 4 AM... 

The "Jeopardy" TV Show is at 4PM and 7PM and Quite Often I Watch Both. But It's Unimportant if I Miss them... and I Like Penn and Teller's "Fool Us" on Monday Nights... Nothing Else is Worth Watching... Except for "Ancient Aliens" Reruns, "The Simpsons" and "Futurama."

I Do a Guided Meditation Every Monday at 6PM with Sonya Sophia... I Almost Always Attend On Time. It's Called World Tapping Circle. We Say Positive Statements while applying Accupressure... to Meridian Locations... Frankly, It Seems Bogus to Me, BUT... She is a Beautiful Woman and So I Like Participating on this Video Webinar... I Met Her at the Rainbow Gathering in Utah 2014 and So... She is Worthy...  an Organic Earth Mother... 

I Have No Tasks. The Care Givers Here at Home... Cook the Food, Go Shopping, Take Out The Garbage, Mow the Lawns, Do the Laundry, Mop the Floors and Remind Me Twice a Week to Take a Shower... and Other Employees Invest My Money and Figure Out My Taxes... I Make Sure to NOT Give Them Any Advice...

I Take a Walk Around the Neighborhood Every Day. BUT... Not Very Far... Four City Blocks is The Maximum I Can Go... 

On Rare Occasions I Go to The Doctor or the Dentist and I Travel using UBER or LYFT. I Don't Own a Car or a Driver's License. I Receive Junk Mail from Corporations trying to sell me Car Insurance... NO SALE... and I Laugh at The TV Advertisements... 4Q Liberty Mutual... I'm not Buying Nothing From Any of You... and I'm Not Buying a Car, Truck, Van or RV...

Asimov's Psychohistory. Predicting the Future Using Math. The Foundation Trilogy. Wikipedia. NOVA TV Show - We Have People With Computers Gambling on the Stock Market Right Now!

The Plot of the Foundation Trilogy is Based on Psychohistory. Hari Seldon Predicted the Collapse of the Galactic Empire. His Plan was to Collect all Knowledge in an Encyclopedia So That Humanity Could Easily Rebuild Society. IMHO: Wikipedia is That Encyclopedia. First, There are the Articles in Wiki that Explain Every Topic, Simply ... and Then at the Bottom of the Page are Links for The SOURCE Material That the Article Was Based Upon. Magazine Articles, Scientific Journals, Books, Websites and The Location (URL) of Every Other Original Content on the Internet.

Weather? They are Pretty Accurate about Predicting the Weather for about a Week... Beyond That? Not So Good. General Trends Like Global Warming and Climate Change are... Turning Out To Be Accurate... OH NO! Massive Forest Fires Coming This Summer (2021) in the Western USA...

I was Employed by Radio Shack Predicting What People Will Buy In Six Months... The Answer was Look at What was Being Bought by Japanese Schoolgirls. High School Students in Japan are Out In Front of The USA as Far as Purchasing Electronic Equipment.

Polls Predicted Hillary Clinton Would Beat Donald Trump in 2016 Presidential Election. OOPS... MONEYBALL Used Math to Help the Oakland A's Win at Baseball...

Psychohistory is a fictional science in Isaac Asimov's Foundation universe which combines history, sociology, and mathematical statistics to make general predictions about the future behavior of very large groups of people, such as the Galactic Empire. It was first introduced in the four short stories (1942–1944) which would later be collected as the 1951 novel Foundation.

Fun Things to do in Eureka and Arcata California - The Tallest Trees, The Finest Weed, Humboldt State University and SIX, Count 'em SIX Rivers... On Highway 101 Near Oregon... SAMBA!

My Brother and I at Woodley Island Marina in front of The Maritime Memorial for Sailors Lost at Sea.

The Madaket was a ferry boat that retired when they built the bridge to Samoa... Now it has narrated cruises exploring Humboldt Bay... The captain tells us the history of what we see.

Scenes photographed from the boat...

We discovered a "secret" beach in Fairhaven that no one ever goes to on a boatride. As we passed Fairhaven on the North Jetty, I saw the beach and a road... later I looked it up on Google Maps and figured out how to get there. We were all alone except for a man in a kayak cruising by.

Remember: Since 1945, The US Military Has Never Defended The USA. Not Even Once. Ever Since Victory over Japan, Every War Has Been a BOGUS Marketing Trick Designed to Sell Weapons for the Military Industrial Complex.

I've Been Using My Mind To Create Art By Telepathically Controlling the Random Number Generator Used in a Paint Dot Net Function... HOW TO INSTRUCTIONS Included... gvan42

Creating Telepathic Art

I Have the Layers Box on The Left Hand Side... 
Useful for Selecting Which Layer You are
Working On... 

I Had a Computer Idea WHILE I WAS ASLEEP. When I Awoke, I Tried it an It Worked! 

I Store all my Latest Drawing on the Desktop so I Know Where to Find Them... Then Every Two Weeks I Put all the Pictures in a Folder With Today's Date on it... This Technique Let's me Search for Pictures when I Want To Use the Pictures in a Blog Post or on Social Media. 

It's a Lot of Work to Individually Drag and Drop each Icon into the Folder... In My Dream, I Highlighted all the Pictures and then... Right Click, CUT... then I put the mouse on the Folder and Right Click, PASTE. and I Moved all the Pictures at Once... 

After High School I Got a Job at The Valley Fair Shopping Center in the San Jose Art, Paint and Wallpaper Store as a Stockboy/Clerk... Unloading Trucks Delivering Paint and Waiting on Customers...

and I moved to Delmas Street near Downtown SJ off West San Carlos Street... Into a Bracero Apartment behind an Old Farm House. My Future Wife and I Used to Go Out on the Freeway Overpass that was under construction at night to Watch the Stars... The Apartment was so tiny that the bedroom only had room enough for a Bed and a Spinet Piano... I had to sit on the bed in order to play it. We Would Play Songs for Four Hands... The nearest Grocery Store was The Ozuna Brothers Tortilla Factory... and we could also buy Pan Dulce... The Ozuna Brothers owned a Volkswagon Beetle with the Body Replace with Spanish Style Iron Grillwork... The same shape as a VW Body but made out of 1/4 inch rebar in super swirly patterns...

I remember Buying a used Bicycle wheel at the San Jose Flea Market... MY Bicycle Wheel had been stole a week before and... IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN THE SAME WHEEL... They also sold Sugar Cane to chew on. It is a Plant that is Very similar to bamboo but KINDA SWEET... Not very sweet but you could tell the difference between Sugar Cane and Bamboo... That Flea Market Was LEGENDARY! Started in 1770 by the Spanish Missionaries... A Famous Artist used to Airbrush T-Shirts with a Painting of a Muscle Car there... I think it was Stanley Mouse but it Could Have Been Big Daddy Roth... That Flea Market was Mentioned in the book "The Kite Runner" because The Man and his Father Bought used stuff at Yard Sales and then sold the same stuff at a table in the Flea Market.

My AutoBiography: Growing Up in Los Gatos, California in the 1960s by Gregory Vanderlaan - and Living in Chico, Washington DC and Eureka.

Born March 19th, 1954, We lived on Hedding Street Near the San Jose Airport until We moved to Los Gatos in 1960.  I lived there until graduation from Los Gatos High School in 1972... an Ideal Childhood...
