About

I recently retired from a second career as a university instructor in statistics. I got in the stats biz sideways from a side gig teaching some of the computer science that I picked up at Stanford University, a gift from my from my rich and crazy Uncle Sam in my first career.  My first career was as a support officer in the Air Force. I had 4 completely different jobs over the years, two of which were exciting in their own ways, but were I to tell you about them, I would have to kill you immediately afterwards.

Back in the benighted Twentieth Century, I kept notebooks and file folders filled with clippings, jotted notes, and blurry copies of things I thought might one day be useful*.  But now I have a Blog, on the Internet!  So all that useful-in-the-future stuff is saved here, where I can readily find it, perhaps even with a few hints of why I found it interesting and saved it.  And, with my own weird generosity, I’m sharing it with you.

Now I have this blog, and it’s my pulpit.  I’ll be posting essays on books, our built environment, cyberfascism, influential people (good and bad),and  healthy eating (I got some g-o-o-d recipes).  Of course there will be other offbeat stuff that I’ll share as well.

It’s gonna be fabulous.  And free.

*Useful for what?  Occasionally, I find out, if only for one or two items.
