Dangerous things:* I'm teaching myself [1]#LISP I'm using a
   tutorial. But to use LISP properly, you should use [2]#Emacs To
   use Emacs, you need a Tutorial. Emacs has a reputation for, "You
   can do everything in Emacs". So, my current success, once I
   learned screen navigation (which is like learning a game) using
   the built-in Emacs tutorial, I just successfully loaded the Lisp
   tutorial from the web into Emacs, having to install a basic web
   browser into Emacs. I'm going to tackle this and I'm having a
   darned good time doing it.* Perhaps I will be able to join the
   ranks of the [3]#Arcane [4]#programmers - the people who made
   the WWW and made all the programming languages that we use
   today; this being the "deep stuff" that's behind a lot of it.
   ('cause LISP is like, I dunno, one of the very first languages
   to ever help humans use computers?* 'cause it's been around for
   50 years?* 'cause it's different?** 'cause it's powerful) I was
   going to learn one of the easiest to master (next to BASIC)
   languages which is [5]#Python apparently; and I'm really
   impressed by the kids' guide to programming that uses Python -
   very well written - but then I thought, "Wait... wait... wait...
   wasn't there a language that they build new languages with?* The
   one that they use because they can reprogram a satellite from
   millions of miles away because it has an interface that allows
   code to be modified by being self-compiling on the fly? Yeah,
   that's LISP. So... Here I dive in. You may not see me for a few
   years.* I've heard of many a hermit that never left Emacs once
   they begin their journey.* I'm liking it so far and that's
   scary; it's hard and that's what makes it fun because what was
   hard, suddenly becomes easy when you go, "Ooooh, that's all it
   is?" and that's when I get that "Level-Up" feeling.
