Jack William Bell


Jack William Bell is a native son of the Pacific Northwest, a rare thing to find around Seattle in this day and age.  Born the same year Sputnik was launched, he is as old as the space age.  Jack wants to be a modern Renaissance man, but has had to settle for being a 'Jack of All Trades, Master of None'.  At one time or another he has supported himself selling shoes, fixing aircraft, programming computers, writing manuals, creating glass art, repairing houses, cooking breakfasts, wrenching on cars, commercial fishing, playing in a Rock and Roll band, and balancing books.  He still doesn't know what he wants to be when he grows up! 

Today Jack pays the bills writing code for embedded systems and satisfies his muse writing SF and futurism.  The latter, posted mainly to his blog, has resulted in his being quoted in Scientific American as an 'amateur futurist'.  He thinks that is just the bee's knees!  Don't you?
