About me
Every day is a surprise. Mostly pleasant. I’ve always wanted to visit Machu Picchu, Peru. But I live with Arizona Red Rocks and that’s okay too
The Internet is our last refuge. I jumped in, in 1989, to the world of the computer. Kicking and screaming mind you… I was (am) an artist and up to then had made fun of my Geek friends. Until the day I met a Mac and in 20 minutes saw what this would do for ART.
I returned to university for 10 years in 1995 - knocked down 2-99/100ths degrees. Two online… with the PhD in limbo per running out of student loan! I have had online businesses since 2000. My last ‘korporate’ mess was Sprint webmaster in Kansas City, 2000-01.
I really DO believe that the Internet is our last place of sanctuary, our harbor, our fortress so to speak… not to mention a safety valve for communication and business. It’s mostly quiet “up here” and I need that haven in this crazy world! I publish. A lot. Articles. Books. And I design… arts, graphics, animation, Web sites, book art.
In academics and career, I have helped build the Internet we know. If ever there was a tool that could help heal a globe, this is it. Of course, it also can be used for hate and crime… but that’s why so many have been called here… to stand in the gap. As a person with disability, this armchair view allows me to go where I wish, do what I wish, and interact with an entire globe.
Remember in the 60s/70s, when anyone over 30 was “THEM,” and perhaps not to be trusted? Well, as with all generations, the joke’s on us. WE are now THEM. Lol. I am astounded to be a Boomer, yet it mostly still feels like age 14. With a whole lot of “Trivia Queen” added to the chaotic rage in one’s head.
We now live in THE age of information. Our mission impossible, should we decide to accept it, is to tame the beast.
