Hi. My name is Temy. I started this site on November 10, 1998. The Internet was a new thing to me then and, not knowing the directions this thing may take, I fancied having a place on it where a person could go to learn useful information. Even then, I intended it to be a learning place. Much has changed since then. Obviously there are now many places where one can go to learn vastly more and about more things than you could learn here. But I still like the basic idea and, humble though it is, I still think of it as a learning place, though the ideas (and tools) for making it so have greatly evolved and I have grown considerably older, so the urge has become much more palpable to make this as good a genuine learning place as I can while I still can. And an understanding that if anything is unique about this place it is what can be learned about me, for those odd enough or bored enough to spend some of their time doing that. As pathetic as it may be, this will be a large part of my legacy, if I can be said to leave such a thing. I believe it was Benjamin Franklin who once said that if you wish to be remembered past the death of your immediate family then you must either write something memorable or do something memorable worth writing about. Since the doing something part seems a stretch for me, I resort to an attempt at the writing part. For a long time life and other distractions severely stunted the growth of the site. Now that my "working life" is apparently over and my time is pretty much my own, Tripod and I have resumed our relationship and, since I have passed fifty-one years old, I plan to spend a great deal of time here, cleaning out cobwebs, broken links, etc., and loading the place to the rafters with what I hope will be an organized approach to knowledge. Upon discovering that the relatively new gadgets of music players and videos are usable here, I realized the much greater impact these things can have than text only. I do hope you will return here often, whenever you feel in the mood to learn something, to hear music, to get a smile, to know more about me, etc. Please sign my guest-book, check out the links over there and feel free to email me if you like. I do hope you'll be glad you stopped by and visited a while. Enjoy.

Here's a torch for you too, friend. Will you help dispel the darkness of ignorance and superstition? At the dawn of a new millennium, will you help drag our world, at last, out of its period of Dark Ages?

Consider this:
"The really hopeless victims of mental illness are to be found among those who appear to be most normal. 'Many of them are normal because they are so well adjusted to our mode of existence, because their human voice has been silenced so early in their lives, that they do not even struggle or suffer...' They are normal not in what may be called the absolute sense of the word; they are normal in relation to a profoundly abnormal society. Their perfect adjystment to that abnormal society is a measure of their mental illness. These millions of abnormally normal people, living without fuss in a society to which, if they were fully human beings, they ought not to be adjusted, still cherish 'the illusion of individuality,' but in fact they have been to a great extent deindividualized. Their conformity is developing into something like uniformity. But 'unifomity and freedom are incompatible. Uniformity and mental health are incompatible too... Man is not made to be an automaton, and if he becomes one, the basis for mental health is destroyed."From: BRAVE NEW WORLD REVISITED by Aldous Huxley, 1958 (The year the old Atheist Preacher was born!), pp.25-26.
