Invoking Thunder and Hoping for Luck

There's more to our universe than we think...

Welcome to Thunder and Luck! My name is Ivars Vilums and here we'll explore the edges and beyond of what we think we know, how we are blinded by that knowledge, and different ways of seeing things. Here we will look at interpretations of life, the universe, and, well, anything that comes up. My hope is that through all this we can find and use the power of diverse breakthrough thinking and with a little luck build a better world for all of us.

Starting as a photojournalist/musician, I have been inventing, developing, and presenting new ideas for over 50 years. Living in the Hill Country of Texas, I love to indulge my creative side. I created the first commercial wireless broadband Internet service in the world in the 1990's in Austin, Texas before cable and DSL were available. In the 1980's I invented and patented an optical full colour 3D holographic imaging technology requiring neither glasses nor lasers. I have worked in areas as diverse as software, electronics, health care, optics, and entertainment and was involved in very early digital films and music in the late 1960's and early 70's. These days I devote my time to writing, creating photographic art and short films, creating music, and caring for the animals in and around my home bringing a lifetime of experiences and expertise to my projects.
