You want me to teach WHAT?

Well, it’s time for me to collect all my thoughts, programs and files into one place that others can access without having to listen to me ramble on about how great this new program, gadget, application, or website is. I understand that asking for help is both positive (yes, I will help you do what you want) and negative (I will tell you a dozen ways of doing this better) so I set up this blog for myself and others to get access to the information in my head. Oh, the wonders of technology!
