At this point I’d like to thank my father for the following words when I was a kid. It didn’t work at first. But Dad, it did work a bit later:
- “Read up on it.”
- “Try it out.”
- “Cut your hair!”
- “What have you done to the computer?”
- “Did you read the manual?”
Without these words, I wouldn’t be where I am today. Trust me when I say that if I have kids one day, I wouldn’t do it any different.
Thank you.

I do realize that the material I write about is not always as comprehensive to others as it is to me. For that very reason I tend to link certain terms and other relevant keywords to easy-to-understand Wikipedia articles. This is a blog from a user for users. I do want my audience to understand what I am writing about. So when in doubt, please check the article you just read for embedded links. Anything too techy, too geeky, too far out, is usually linked to an explanation. I’m not an educational blogger, but I want my readers to understand and not furrow their brows and hit the back button. Then again, this can only work for those readers who want to learn something new. For those that opt not to educate themselves, well that would be their loss.
This is where I’d like to ask for your cooperation. Should you find a term or even an entire article that does not provide adequate explanation, please let me know in a comment. I will do my best to add the relevant information.
