I have been hacking (computers) since 1987.  Yes, I was only 5 years old.  My first hack came a a rewrite to the program "Lemonade Stand" on the Apple IIc.  From that time on I have been interested in computers, electronics, and science in general.  I have made it a point in my life to learn all I can and be all I can be.

When someone tells me I can't do something, I have always made it a point to prove them wrong.  If something seems impossible I try to find new ways to look at the situation. 

Everything in life can be described by math and science.  And with that everything can be described with 1's and 0's. 

P.S.

I know you want to complain about the fact I created this site in Frontpage.  Go ahead.  I have created plenty of websites using vi, pico, and notepad.  But sometimes you just get tired to messing with the HTML tags and CSS files to get page to look just the way you want.  When you can cheat and have a pretty good looking page that is easy to maintain they why mess with it.
