My Introduction to Computer Science

I was first introduced to the wonderful world of programming when I was 9 years old (46 years ago as of this writing). My middle school had just gotten some Franklin Ace 2000s (Think Apple IIe clone) and my father bought us a Commodore 64 for the house. While my siblings were most interested in playing games on the Commodore I wanted to program. Armed with books like Jim Butterfield's 'Machine Language for the Commodore 64' I began writing my own BASIC wedges and creating portable software from the Commodore 64 to the Apple IIe (which had similar CPUs in the 6502 family based on the Z80). I loved programming. It gave me a space that I felt like I had some control and my life was not just a tail spin of undesirable events.

The Story of Bryan Cook and Inner City 90s Sydney

Inner city Sydney in the 1980s and 90s was a very special place. I first spent extended amounts of time in Newtown from 1991. The creativity and energy of the community was amazing. Music, art, performance and writing as well as dancing, singing, sculpting and raving were happening everywhere. Large loft-style warehouse spaces could be rented for a few hundred dollars a week and large groups could live in them too. I moved permanently to Sydney in late 1992 and the city was my base until late 1999. The city has changed a lot since then and on my first and only visit back since, in 2023, it was almost unrecognisable.
This is the story of Bryan Cook. A local inner city photographer and Australian independent music lover who captured some of the most unique, unseen photos around the inner city pubs like The Hopetoun, The Vulcan, The Sydney Trade Union Club The Evening star, The Strawberry Hills Hotel and more.

At the post office this morning. The elderly lady in front of me was packing a human skull into a box. Nobody in the space seemed to notice.....maybe it was a hallucination.

Here is the earliest iteration of my online presence, from 1999. If you click on "unique" "paintings" or my name, it leads you into the site. The painting you get is a broken link, but click on it, and the detail is still there.

No Law 4000
The year is 4000, the year for lasergunslingers, aliens and scoundrels.

This is my second appearance in a film for the year 2002. I play the first poker player who dies. Please enjoy No Law 4000.

My lines:
"I kill men like you before breakfast so wipe that smile off your face. Cause when I'm through with you there won't be anything left to smile about....we're gonna play poker when I say we're gonna play poker......aaagggghhhhh"

Back in 2001, after a year living in Sweden, I got myself on the local news, and not for anything illegal ;-)

Apart from a beard that may have been a crime.....maaaaaan.
