I was blown away, and a little overwhelmed, by StumbleUpon when I first arrived in July of 2007. I am still blown away, but am no longer too overwhelmed. I simply love this place. It is, as I say in the first post, like a free university which allows you to enroll on 127 classes and go to any of them whenever you want. Below is a little about me:

I’m a writer from Lawrence, Kansas, the home of Kansas University. I manage life fairly well with my wife Sabine, my daughter Amanda, and my Weird Dawg Tucker. I spent most of my life in the computer industry, first writing software commercially, then managing large software development projects. Because of my career, I lived most of my life in the San Francisco Bay Area, mostly in Moss Beach, Foster City, and Burlingame.

Multiple sclerosis knocked me over a few years ago, followed by a bout with cancer, which I nearly lost. I am now disabled and making almost no money at all by writing novels. I’m doing a little bit better with blogging, both on my own and for pay, plus being co-editor of a Humanist Web-zine. As you might expect, I spend more than a little time on StumbleUpon every day, looking ate what my SU friends find and just Stumbling in general.
