My Charter

Five centuries ago, improvements in travel and communication generated a fresh wave of creativity where new concepts and ideas coexisted with the traditional and romantic. Art and science were indistinguishable and they were being explored by the same people simultaneously. Stories, religions, and beliefs from ancient and more recent cultures served as sources of inspiration. And collaborative sharing could take place with others who lived far away.

In our generation, we've seen technology wipe out the limitations distance created. People can collaborate live from any corner from the globe, and more importantly, through the internet, there is a universal library unlike any that has ever existed. This library contains books, videos, ideas formally published and ideas collaboratively assembled. You can learn about any topic and contribute your knowledge. It can be a new, redefining, Renaissance.

So here I am. I am creating this blog for several reason:

1. To encourage you and myself to be creative, develop passions, and to be as diverse and wonderful as we were created to be.
2. An experiment: To contribute myself to the universal library. Facebook has been wonderful for networking with family and friends, but what I am passionate to share a) doesn't belong there and b) would be too long for a typical post and would likely be passed over. Here, on a web log, rants are expected. I don't plan to rant, rather I'm planning on sharing the various things I'm interested in and curious about and I hope it inspires you to do the same.

So let the experiment begin.
