I’m a nerd, not an expert

I love to learn about stuff, and I’m pretty good at explaining things. There are some things I’m especially interested in, so you’ll see recurring posts about those topics.  You’ll also see other topics thrown in every now and then, it just depends on what I woke up thinking about.  I hope you enjoy my posts, and if you do, bookmark the page, sign up to get notice when a new post goes up, and support me in any of a dozen ways I explain here.
