Hello, friends and neighbors. I've joined the Great Twitter Migration of 2022. There, I followed politics, mainly in response to the fateful election of 2016. More recently, I've drifted toward programming tech in the Javascript realm, and will probably persue some gardening groups here.
Biographically, I fall easily in the catagory of life-long learner, hence my draw to this server. "So many topics, so little time." I pick a topic or three and pursue (or visa versa) with some passion for a few years and move on, usually to return a decade or so later. Here are my main topics(no expertise is suggested or implied in any subject matter):
Food -mainly vegetables
Growing food-organic, heirloom, seed-saving, peppers
Growing plants - Orchids, trees, flowers, roses, herbs, gourds, succulents
Art -zentangling, celtic knots, iconograpy, pen/ink, egg tempera
Music -progRock, classical, baroque, electronic synthesis, keyboard
Psychology -interegal, classical christian theology.
Stamp Collecting -Flat Plate US and plate blocks
Woodworking -hardwoods, hand tools
Backpacking -running, trail-running, outdoors -minimalist, hammocking
Golden Section -geometry, Kepler
Computers -Basic, Pascal, C, Visual Basic, SQL, Powershell, Javascript/HTML/CSS, C#
