No, I have not. I am so far outside of academic circles that I am not  
sure what my option of venues to publish in were so I have been aiming  
for writing a popular science book which I am nowhere near finished  
with.

Yes, I have and also derived math that connects the examples into a  
coherent theory. If you have been working on this topic too, then I am  
open to collaboration and coauthoring. Especially if you are  
affiliated with a university or something, that would be a big help in  
getting it published.
