I've been online since 1982. I've kept most of the e-mail I've sent and received since then. For real.

I was on various BBS systems, The Source, Compuserve, BIX, The WELL, Usenet, uucp for about a decade. If you know what these are, you're an online vet too!

I wrote 34 books about the Internet in the 90s and sold over a million books

I hosted 4 national radio shows back then, including one about computers way back in 1984! (I still have the audio)

I wrote hundreds of columns for magazines, newspapers and online publications around this time

Life got weird once all this happened - I did about 3,000 TV, radio and print interviews after all that happened. I got really tired of the media by about 2000.

I've written 4 more books since then, and am writing number 5 (I also wrote a novel when I was 15. I still have it. It's not yet published.)

Other stuff? I'm based in Canada, eh! I golf, ski, exercise a lot, hike and spend time with my family

I'm a hardcore geek - Linux (mostly Ubuntu), and run my own Web, Mastodon, Ghost, and mailing list servers. Currently a fan of Nginx, CloudPanel, AAPanel, Hertzner.

I'm on the global speaker circuit, and have been for 33 years

I fly about 125,000 miles a year to get to speaking gigs. I love my time on stage. The travel, not so much.

People pay me big money to hear me speak. I'm pretty good at it - most of the world's major speaker bureaus represent me and book me

All of my talks are based on extensive research - I don't make shit up. These keynotes are based on facts, statistics, numbers

I'm pretty darned good at predicting trends. I can give you a list of what I've done over 40 years.

I've done two talks for a room full of NASA astronauts, launch directors, rocket engineers and astrophysicists on the topic of the future of space

I'm not in Wikipedia though, because someone decided I wasn't real. LOL.

I don't have a big ego - I feel blessed by the magic of my career! I once shared an event with Carrie Fisher(!)

I write a Daily Inspiration post each work day. I've been doing this since August 2016, when I achieved some wonderful clarity in my life. I have not missed ONE POST since I started

Clarity of mind is my most important goal in my life. 6/26/2016.
