More than most people, I've "been there and done that." And, while I was doing it, I was watching and taking notes.
I was a soldier in Vietnam in the sixties, an engineering student at MIT in the seventies, a personal computer and Local Area Network (LAN) pioneer in the eighties, an ESL teacher in Korea in the nineties, and a science fiction writer in the 2000's.
I enjoy chronicling why events happen and investigating the forces behind them.
I write continually about my travels, and the forces I see behind many business, historic
and scientific phenomena.
The culmination of this is my White
World site, and the many stories, articles and videos I have produced. Check these out to find out more about what I have learned in my journey through life, or contact me.
