Worked last 4 years, before retiring in 1992, as Director of International Data Corporation’s (IDC) Federal Information Service.

 

Believe strongly in “sharing”. More information is better than less. Years ago created a website that evolved into sections of my do-it-yourself (DIY) tutorials, some of my writings, photography and many of my doodles and videos. Website has helped a lot of folks save time and money by understanding something they own and how to repair it themselves.

 

From website added on a YouTube channel. Again, more tutorials on DIY repairs as well as random muses about various topics.

 

In the spring of 2024, idea of creating a book of some of my many writings came to mind. Not sure what the parameters are that make up the book-action equation. Certainly, ego, perhaps legacy but very sure “sharing” is the parameter with the most influence. Just sharing, as so many things in this life are DIY as there is very little talk about many things and we never taught.

 

Fun?  In therapy for years and always asked, “What do you do for fun?”  As then, as now: learning. Cannot help myself, from looking up the meaning of words I do not know to lectures on cosmology or a study on poverty by various demographics.

 

Just some joy: in learning and sharing.
