When I shared a video of my 300 page first draft, one of your noted how much editing that must entail. Truer words were never spoken!

My story begins in the summer of 1993. We were renting an office for my one-year old company, Prophet Financial Systems, and one of the guys called me over to his desk to show me something. He fired up something on his screen called a “browser” which allowed him to use this thing called the “Internet.” At what should have been an epiphanic moment, I shrugged and told him it seemed like a way for nerds to look at nude pictures (which wasn’t too far off the mark, but didn’t exactly suggest a visionary moment on my part).

I think I might be repeating myself, but hey, with over 31,000 posts (over 1,000 times the number of flavors at Baskin-Robbins), I am entitled to do so. What I’m referring to is this 130 year old school text from my bookshelf, which was a highly-esteemed science guide for the young men and women of Britain in the late 19th century. You will note that it was the recipient of the highest honor at the Chicago Exhibition and Educational Congress of 1893.
