| Free web pages are wonderfully democratic; they enable everyone with access to a computer to share their ideas with a potentially world-wide audience. And the internet doesn't just give us an audience; it helps us leave a legacy. Most of us will never write (or be the subject of) a book or a magazine article. But we can create web pages which might long outlive us. I hope that all these web pages people are creating will be kept on the internet for future generations to read and (perhaps) to learn from. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| I've always been a collector. I've collected music, books, stamps, sports cards, and classic movies. A friend calls me "the archivist" because of my shoeboxes full of index cards from college (I collected colleges too - I went to seven of them). I was going to be a high-school history teacher. One thing that appealed to me about that profession was that you can study just about anything, and find a way to work it into the classroom. So my shoeboxes are full of information on many different fields - not just history, but science, religion, philosophy, art, literature, and on and on. I was young and ambitious, taking the whole realm of knowledge as my domain. But life can be tempestuous and unpredictable, and I never became a teacher. Instead I went to work in a hotel/casino in Las Vegas, the city where I was born. (Recently, I've become a full-time student attempting a mid-life career change.) Hopefully, I've acquired some knowledge and insight which will make my web pages worth reading. With any luck, publishing is in my genes; after all, my first cousin, twice removed, was Dorothy Buffum Chandler, former Vice President of the L.A. Times. However, I'm not a Chandler; they're a different branch of the family tree. So stop looking in the Times; you'll just have to read me here! ----This page has links to some of my web pages.

| I recently started keeping a weblog at ucsb1990.tripod.com/blog. I figure a blog will be a fun way to set my thoughts down on paper (so to speak). 1/5/05: I've decided to post my thoughts on news and politics on a separate blog: ucsb1990.blogspot.com/ |
