Obviously I am not a nerd. Because would a nerd try to launch their own virtual server, program it from scratch, and spend nearly an entire week trying to figure it out?
Once upon a time, I was a computer geek. I knew a bit about programming, how to make websites, and how to get clients to make websites for. At that time I attended an all boy high school. Piano and music were something I did to please my mom. And then one day, I met a girl while playing a church musical.
I never looked back at the computers.
20 some years later, I want to get back into it. It's not that I am interested in computers. What interests me is being able to do something for myself. It's why I enjoy cooking, making bread, writing this blog, and playing music.
Perhaps 20 years from now, I will look back at my life and think: "Wow, I learned how to craft lots of things that were helpful to others. I wonder what's still out there to learn?"
