[edit] Introduction

it's a wiki, wiki world. being of a geeky nature, loving knowledge and being simultaneously of an egalitarian type, i believed from the start that wikipedia was on to something, and it would be good. i am only sorry it has taken me so long to join (it is already 2006). i am an avid linux fan and supporter of gnu; the idea behind wikipedia seems obviously valid and even pressing, at least to me. i'm a fervent advocate of lifelong learning. i'm thrilled that wiki has accomplished what it has and i'm equally excited to finally participate and hopefully, help, even if by no more than contributing to the great debate over the Cat Lover's Committee page.

[edit] Interests

for a number of years i taught CompTIA A+ computer (PC) hardware and software certification courses, Network+ certification courses, and general courses introducing computer troubleshooting and office productivity software. i am a microsoft certified systems engineer (MCSE), and A+, Network+ and Server+ certified by CompTIA. i've been a computer technician/network engineer/system administrator for almost ten years. i don't teach as much now but still very much enjoy writing learning material. i hope to put it all together in an organized way to provide real, effective, adrogogically sound learning tools for individuals interested in technology generally, or in getting a job in technology. knowledge empowers, whether the goal is to further a career or just to understand the world a little better. my two main areas of interest are philosophy and computer science/engineering.
