I'm a retired software engineer. I've programmed video games, and other graphics apps. I've published mathematical algorithms in computer animation and ray-tracing. My technical publications are at:

Lately, I've been developing what I call RIVA (Resolution Independent Vector Art.) It's about 20K lines of C code. It parses a description of a "potentially aesthetic" image, and turns it into HP/GL-2 code, which I can print w/ my 42" HP 800 plotter. When I sell them, I call them digital fine art prints.

I also write poetry, flash fiction, and comedy. Google "jack ritter" poetry or see www.houseofwords.com
