A Brief Re-introduction Although some of you know me from the community and YOUmoz, Rand suggested that a brief re-introduction might be in order. It all started in the little town of Fenton, Illinois – Population: 137. Ok, maybe I can skip ahead a few years. When I was 9, I bought my first computer, a TRS-80 Color Computer (if you’re wondering, it was 1979). I immediately learned that coding was in my blood.
Back then, I was so hardcore that if I made a mi qatar mobile phone numbers database stake while typing in a program, I wiped out all my code and started over. Also, I didn’t know that you could edit just one line. Give me a break; I was 9. In case you were wondering, the 9-or-so year-old me is in that picture above - 3 pints of invisible fairy dust to the first person who can guess which one is me.
I started publishing code at 15 and ultimately decided to major in Computer Science. Due to a great intro class I had in high school, I decided to double-major, and went on to get my B.S. in Computer Science and Psychology. When I graduated in 1992, the internet hadn’t really taken hold and my itch to learn more about the human mind had just barely been scratched, so I decided to do my doctorate in Cognitive Psychology.
