Thanks for visiting...I hope you find some useful information here.

I suppose a disclaimer is in order. So here goes: The ideas expressed here (stated, implied, hinted at, blurted, or worded in regrettable ways then deleted but still preserved for all of time in internet archives) do not reflect the views of North Hennepin Community College, the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities system, any previous or future employer, or even, perhaps, John O'Brien. But you should still read this anyway.

"The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn." Toffler
