As a kid growing up before the age of the internet, I relied on encyclopedias and almanacs to learn about inventors and inventions. As an adult teaching people how to use the internet I hung on many internet forums looking to learn more and dig deeper. At times what I found shocked me. The internet was doing as much to create history, as it was to document history.
I'm tired of all the myths and misinformation spread as the truth, and now thanks to AI it's getting worse. I look at history as an evolution of ideas by many interesting people. I tell stories about the forgotten geeks to increase awareness, educate, and entertain.
Cynics question the status quo; they don't blindly follow the majority views. Cynics poke fun at the absurdities of life to see things differently.
My mission is to challenge oversimplified narratives and spotlight the real, nuanced journey of human innovation.
