Iām a commonologist. I depend on the earth like everyone else and ponder every day things most every dayā¦ like an ant on my front porch meandering about with some sort of purpose. I wonder about the wandering antās intentions. Iām highly allergic to certain yet to be identified ant bites. Asian needle ants are unconfirmed suspects. As a commonologist, Iām somewhat lacking in knowledge regarding many common things. Maybe Iām more of a yondering artsyologist.
This website changes frequently. It has taken the place of the work I loved before I retired. The electronic design industry also evolves frequently, sometimes minute to minute. So my web publishing endeavor is sort of a continuation of what I had been doing for umpteen gazillion years as an electronic PCB designer.
Life is easy when youāre honest and tell the truthā¦ I didnāt love ALL aspects of my PCB design job and Iām exaggerating about umpteen gazillion yearsā¦ nobody is that old because even God, the creator of the universe, is infinitely older and younger at the same time. So we canāt put a finger on Godās age or how long Heās been working. As far as us humans go, we only have a lifetimeā¦ or do weā¦ actually, Iām pretty sure thereās something more.
My last career job was computer aided design of internet operating circuit board layouts along with a distinguished team of engineers, managers and support personnel. Prior to that I was an electronics technician evolving into circuit board design in the defense industry working with tactical missile systems. My first career job was a professional artist. During my younger years I worked many odd jobs beginning at age nine with a newspaper delivery route.
The most important career lesson I learned was from a female automobile mechanic. I was in my late teens and wasnāt happy with where I was working at the time and she told me, āThe best thing you can do is make yourself valuableā.
Currently calming and ponderingā¦
Iām about 15 in dog years
my wife says Iām 10
my brain tells me Iām 9ā¦
Iām actually in my 8th decade
as measured by Earthās solar orbit
ā¦relatively old for a kid
