Starting point

As I sit here and watch them put up the Cardboard cut out Christmas trees that will line the roof top of the flower shop across the street, I am trying to figure out where to begin. So, let me tell you a little bit about me.

I am a Los Angeles native, which means I am probably a little skewed to begin with. My family is very literate and I was taught to use a dictionary at a very young age. If you don't understand it look it up. I can spend hours following strands in a dictionary or encyclopedia. Looking up one thing leads me to another and another and before I know it hours have passed.

The Internet takes this into a whole new dimension for me. I have spent many evenings with friends on Internet searches looking for something and ending up in completely different place following strands of information. This type of research if you will has taken me on all kinds of adventures. I used to dig in dark places looking for back doors and loop holes, I wound up with a lot of viruses that way. Dirty formatting.

Today my searches are mostly for real life issues, and not so much time spent crawling around under the net. I enjoy looking for things, like legal histories to see what set precedence for laws. Helping people find things that they are at a loss about. Figuring out how to balance nutrients for good health. How to use electronics with no manual. Write contracts, find people, places... and just satisfy my own curiosity about the world around us. The list goes on and on.

I have a smart phone giving me access instant information all the time and I love it!
