Nature decided what our specialty was to be and it’s all about the brain. Surely were not the strongest, how long would the strongest of our kind hold up against a bear. Definitely not the fastest, ever try to out run a Cheetah? So our continued fascination with sport of physical prowess in Hero fashion is puzzling. Our whole body design today is set up to serve the brain, and not over power the bear or outrun the Cheeta. This is true from the dexterity of our opposable thumb hand for rendering it’s thoughts to our vocal system for articulating it's advanced concepts. To have the gift of the human experience is to celebrate the brain, and most importantly make maximum use of it. Anything else is a true waste of time and space. We are here to ask the questions and seek the answers for a universe curious about itself, it is our purpose for being.

I work primarily with Microsoft technology. Why? Because that's where the money is? Or was I sufficiently brainwashed during my years there? Whatever the real reasons, probably both, it's parlayed into a depth of Microsoft product exposure and experience.

My computing career sort of began by accident. Still fresh out of college with only one mainframe computer course under my belt at the time, and after having tried selling things like furniture and trophies, I got an interview with Bill Sauls, then district manager for Radio Shack. At the interview's conclusion he exclaimed, I don't think you know much about computers, when can you start? Caught off guard my answer came slow and I went to work in only their 3rd computer center. It was the days of the Model I with much excitement and anticipation about a new and evolving industry, the new good olden days. Next stop was Apple IIs in the retail setting where I made the owners, Paul and Marcia Swartz, enough money to sell the early computer store business and move back to California. I wonder how their doing today and glad I could help them with their dream. Then things took off in a new and even more exciting direction joining Microsoft for the next 7 years. I was fortunate to know the Microsoft of those yester years. Still small, family like, very determined, and sure of it's destiny.
