Update Nov 2021: The Registry worked even better than I expected, but I could not get any participation from the email establishment. I don't mind contributing my time and all the programming effort, but I have no desire to go into business again. Anyway, the big companies, Google et. al. have figured it out, and are doing a good job at blocking incoming spam with their proprietary systems. Not as good as they could have done with a shared Registry, but good enough to keep their customers happy. | Update Nov 2021: The Registry worked even better than I expected, but I could not get any participation from the email establishment.

Update Nov 2021: My current interest is nuclear power and the promise of a solution to the global warming problem. A few months ago I had one of those moments where my thinking radically changed from what I had believed for decades. I had been anti-nuclear, but mostly inattentive. This was in spite of working two years as a physicist with nuclear fusion. I am now learning everything I can about fission.
Note: I am not pro-nuclear. I am pro anything that will provide a good substitute for fossil fuels. I live in a big beautiful desert, with lots of sun. My business is 100% solar powered, and that is saving me about $100 per month. This success, however, depends on my power company providing 100% credit on excess power I generate - effectively a free battery with unlimited capacity.
2010: My current interest is in the problem of establishing trust on the Internet, particularly for email systems. I have started a non-profit open-mail.org, which is sponsoring a Registry of Internet Transmitters. I am also the mail admin for box67.com, which provides the real-world experience I need to develop better models and systems. Before I retire, I would like to put a big dent in the Internet crime problem. I believe the Registry will do that. Email system
Update Nov 2021: The Registry worked even better than I expected, but I could not get any participation from the email establishment. I don't mind contributing my time and all the programming effort, but I have no desire to go into business again. Anyway, the big companies, Google et. al. have figured it out, and are doing a good job at blocking incoming spam with their proprietary systems. Not as good as they could have done with a shared Registry, but good enough to keep their customers happy.
