I was honorably discharged from the air force in 1975 and spent two years at Austin Community College with a 4.0 GPA and promptly flunked out my first semester at the University of Texas at Austin.
I have since learned that, for me, a college environment is not conducive to learning. But I am excited by online learning, for not only can you learn almost anything from the millions of courses offered but also you can replay any instructional videos repeatedly until you fully understand them! Have you ever tried to get a university professor to repeat himself even once?
I have worked with computers, from Burroughs mainframes to Texas instruments, minicomputers, and once had a business about buying and selling all manner of computer and electronic test equipment. I have worked with IBM-cloned personal computers since they first came out in the 1980s.
I always wanted to be a newspaper columnist, but I didn’t pursue that career path until reporters and columnists were roaming the streets, unemployed by the thousands. My solution to that was to follow the crowd and create a blog, ThePeerBlog.com, which is still in development.
I have always been interested in alternative energy but have not been able to pursue that passion with much consistency until recently. With interests in science, energy, physics, and nearly everything else, I finally concluded that the best option was to combine those interests and become an author. It’s one of the few professions where being a jack of all trades but a master of one is an asset!
Alien Blues will be my first book but hopefully the first of many!ver menos
