Born in 1962, thoughout my public school education I held on to my love of the arts, especially writing. I'm still writing, but now web pages and even in another language, a computer language called perl.
Language is penultimate.
In the beginning there was the undifferentiated. Then there was the word. That's not really possible, so I've narrowed it down to the humanities and social sciences, basically those things which speak most clearly about what it is to be human. While individually our insignificance is undeniable, we are still a fascinating creature. And without the individual, there is no collective.
