About this site

This web page is the product of a person whose mind was abducted by an alien force which manifested itself in the form of a home built computer in 1978.  This electronic creature immediately took on a dominant role in our continuing relationship.  It demanded software!  You couldn't buy software so I was forced to write it myself to moderate it's aggressive personality.  Then it was floppy drives, printers, memory and other I/O devices.  Every time I established some sort of control on this Avatar like  thing it would mutate into a new generation.  Each generation smarter and more aggressive than the last.  There demands increased...color monitors, faster processors, more memory, larger storage devices.  They were no longer satisfied with the level of software I could produce.  Outside software had to be obtained.  Not only was this costly, but their appetite for more complex software continued to increase.

By the end of the 1980's,  I could no longer keep up with the needs of this home based alien colony.  They began to migrate into the neighborhood, across Cities, across the Nation and eventually around the world.  They continued to  mutate in to smaller more potent aggressors.  They adapted their methodology so they could infest the minds of the common non technical segments of the population.  They have compromised the minds of everyone from senior citizen down to the youngest of our human kind.  They have been able to train the children of the world to be smarter than their elders and to aid and abet in the total take over of the world.

As for me, I am no longer the focus of their on-going movement.  I am able to do more things that I want to do.  But life will never be the same.  Where I used to get great pleasure from ham radio, it has been replaced by video editing and movie making on a computer.  One of my greatest enjoyments was solving crossword puzzles and putting together jig saw puzzles.  That has been replaced by building web servers and developing web pages.

Then again, maybe things are not as described.  Perhaps this is all little more than a hobby.  After all, a hobby requires a tremendous amount of time, effort and resources.  And a hobby requires continuing financial investment.  And finally, a hobby seldom offers back any financial or tangible reward for ones effort !

But, I still cannot help but think that computers may well be an alien life form with a purpose still to be defined.  There is no doubt they are imbedded in the minds of the masses.
