Myth
Human beings have always told stories. In ancient times, these myths provided an explanation of the world and an understanding of what it means to be human. Even in modern times, the mythic genres of fantasy and science fiction delight us, strengthen us, and challenge us to fulfill our human potential.
I have been an avid reader of fantasy since childhood; when I first encountered ancient mythology in middle school, it fascinated me. In recent years, I have started to understand the impact the stories have on me and have begun studying myth in more depth.
Web
In college, I participated in internet projects and online courses. These showed me how the internet could improve education — and everything else, really — by making information widely available and providing tools for communication and collaboration.
I now work for a retail company, mainitaining their web site; and I offer my web development services through my own freelance company, Amesbury Web. I spend quite a bit of time online, maintaining a handful of personal projects and using web applications for collaboration and increased productivity.
