Thankfully Anonymous
Retired in spirit. Artist and engineer. A polymath educated in hard sciences. Design/Test/Reverse/Re-engineer. Technical writer and Unix Guru. Peripherally present and active at intriguing moments of the Reagan cold war, dot-com/dot-bust era, AT&T vs. IBM Unix war (won by Linux), the browser wars/explosion, early hybrid vehicle design, and the late-middle of the Human Genome Project. Post-911, paused my retirement to be a part-time maker of gadgets for law enforcement and warfighters. Resumed full-time retirement at age 50. HS Honor Grad. BSGS/MSCS. Postgrad Mathematics. Top SAT percentile. Better than most at foreseeing futures. Rarely snared by marketing/media illusions. MBTI INFJ.
Born Wayne Michael Hadady (2nd generation Hungarian American) July 1955. Off-the-charts fit. Living in good company in Wise, VA, an Appalachian university town, and willing to travel most anywhere for good times. Enjoying writing, science, history, games, and sf/fantasy, all of which tickle the mind. Magic player. Enjoying Cribbage in bed. Open to new pursuits. What are Yours? Without urgency, aiming to see as much of this world as reasonable. When and where would You like to go?
Meanwhile, I pour a lot of energy now into improving a rather beautiful and almost-off-grid secluded home at altitude in the Appalachians. I get to play with solar, propane, bi-directional grid-electric, batteries, two sources of water, all-wheel drive w/accessories and lots of finished square feet in a beautiful mountain setting w/a water view. It’s a hoot.
Life surprises at virtually every age. I look forward to living for centuries.
