I am self-educating by reading and studying books, e-books, Online tutorials, And online courses via, Edx, Coursera, Udacity, Code Academy,MIT's Opencourseware, Kahn Institute, and being mentored by my CS majoring son, as well as local and online meet ups

I am 59 years old with a defibrillator and live in Ann Arbor Michigan where I am cheered on by a few young U of Michigan students. God bless them. Usually I am bi-coastal and don't care for mid-west so I'm moving to Wilmington NC later this year. I am hoping to attend University of North Carolina at doing a dual-major in CS and Film Studies. That is if they don't discriminate against middle-aged white men. Actually I'd like to work in the game-making area. But I enjoy solving problems anywhere. I have majored on Philosophy and Political Science at S.U.N.Y. Plattsburgh, back in the dark ages. Red Sox, Golf, and Flyfishing forever. I'm a mellow Anarchist politically (That's what I get for Studying deeply into the Classics and Global History and Geography)

 Oh yeah! I play a bit of Guitar:American,Spanish,Electric, and Acoustic,  As well as Bass (Deep connection here), and Mandolin. I bought a Bushman Mouth harp a few weeks ago, but I've managed to mis-place it. It was a lovely made instrument and made in Indiana U.S.A. My interests are wide. I love to read. And I am the first Shoveleer/Imagineer. Kindred Spirits are out and about, but I coined the moniker. Peace, Love, and Gravy.
