Take the folks at Coca-Cola. For many years, they were content to sit
back and make the same old carbonated beverage. It was a good
beverage, no question about it; generations of people had grown up
drinking it and doing the experiment in sixth grade where you put a
nail into a glass of Coke and after a couple of days the nail dissolves
and the teacher says: "Imagine what it does to your TEETH!" So
Coca-Cola was solidly entrenched in the market, and the management saw
no need to improve ...

Welcome to my homepage, this is my non-facebook bio page, thanks for visiting! I live in Las Vegas, NV Honolulu, Hawaii. I keep files and information on this page that I like to share with people, so check back often for file updates. If you want real time information about what I am up to, then I suggest visiting my blog or Facebook page.
I enjoy the game of GO, reading, and hiking in and around the Las Vegas Honolulu area. I am what most people would call a geek, and I am proud of this. Generally this means I love Science Fiction, Math, Computers, Role-playing Games,and I am not at all ashamed to tell you that I am trying to become a tournament level Scrabble player. I am a Linux dork, my distro of choice is OpenSuse Linux, and I still read comic books. I love, and do, T'ai Chi Ch'uan and Aikido, if you are ever in Vegas you should check out the Las Vegas branch of the Southern California Ki Society and if you are in the Honolulu area try the Honolulu Ki Society
Here are some various insignia that identify me as a member of certain cultural sub-groups:
I am a Lab Technician, Mathematician, Ecologist, and Writer. I am currently working on a few writing projects, some fiction and non-fiction. I attended a fantastic writing workshop here in Las Vegas called The Las Vegas Creative Writing Class taught by Maxwell Alexander Drake, which is fun, exciting and very informative, I highly recommend you attend. My favorite Sci-Fi Authors are Phillip K. Dick, Ray Bradubury, Stanislaw Lem, Rudy Rucker and of course H.P. Lovecraft
I am in a very happy relationship with my partner Joseph W.
