This site is dedicated to micro-learning and interesting facts. It has been a labor of love for me to build it.
Let me introduce myself.
My name is William. I’m a coder who has always loved knowledge and learning. However, school and I didn’t mix.
I didn’t absorb enough through listening to teachers. If something resonated with me, I’d go into deep thought and not catch the rest of the lecture. I was compelled to use alternative methods of learning, usually by reading.
I grew up in the 70’s and 80’s, long before internet. I was lucky that my grandparents owned a bookstore. I spent many happy years reading the store’s stock.
My grandfather was a retired programmer (think punch cards), who loved history, especially anything British. My grandmother loved all books and literature.
I was able to quench my thirst from learning in all those volumes of knowledge.
I received my first computer around the age of 14. With the help of a book I taught myself to code. Eventually I was able to turn that into career.
I’ve worked for companies in the US and Asia, writing games and educational software. Among my favorites were GaiaOnline.com, and TeachingTextBooks.com.
I’ve used these skills to build this site that will help both you and myself study the fine details of subjects, like history, language, literature and geography.
I’m ever expanding the library of topics on this site, and welcome any suggestions. Just use the contact link at the top of the page.
Happy Learning!
William
