Unintended Consequences 0

As I have mentioned before, my professor of the early federal period during my one year of grad school, Dr. Bill Shade, was fond of saying, “History is irony.”

Thos points out a rather delightful irony.

Aside:

I dropped out of grad school without getting my masters and with having realized that a career in academia was not for me.

I landed in a very satisfying career as a corporate trainer, I do not regret the year I spent in grad school (if nothing else, I got to take a class from Bill Shade), but driving home in the UHaul with the few bits of furniture from my basement apartment after dropping out was one of the two times in my life that I literally felt a weight lift from my shoulders.

Teaching persons how to do their jobs turned out to be a very rewarding occupation.

This website does not track you.

It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
