So... what's this all about? Oh yeah, first...* "Hi", I'm Ken.* :P* I've been online since 1988 and I've saved an awful lot of stuff.* Floppy disks, hard drives, CD-ROMs bookmarks, scans.. just all sorts of stuff. But it's a mess.* It's all over the place.* Even my own notes and writings are scattered... much of it online... some of it in notebooks, scraps of paper, index cards, etc. So... I want it collected in one place.* Tried numerous other ways.* None of them "stuck".* And... when it comes to saving information from websites, *bookmarks* are not enough; websites are always going down, changing, etc.* I use the Wayback Machine in those times, but THAT'S not even enough. So... I thought: Time for honesty.* Just make my own copy.* Done.* Put it "out there".* Why?* Well, unless someone has a problem with a copy of something *they put out there into the public already*, I don't see the harm in providing a "cache" of stuff that *I FIND INTERESTING*. So... It's a compliment from me to you if you see something of yours on here.* If you want it off, as long as you're the right person, just ask.* I'll hide it from public view or delete it.* Whatever you want. But I need to organize my thoughts.* I'd like to think "I'm Original: My Thoughts Are Unique".* And sure, some of them probably are.* But I wouldn't have *any* thoughts to call "original" IF I HADN'T COPIED, from Birth, the motions, activities and concepts and words that CAME FROM OTHER PEOPLE. SO to me, since everything I've ever read *somehow* has become a part of *my* thinking processes, it seems fair to make a copy of it.* All of it.* Why?* Because websites go down.* Constantly.* They should be saved somewhere.* Since these are my own copies, I might as well save them here. If you find yourself on here, you're instantly super-awesome in my book; otherwise I wouldn't have taken the time to put it here. Even if you're not on here, YOU'RE AWESOME - and anybody who doesn't realize that... well, their world isn't going to be as brightly lit, is it?* Stay awesome my friends!* -Ken Kenneth Udut, Naples, FL USA Sept 7, 2014
