Abstract

Mark Twain thought that once he had learned to read the Mississippi River his education as a river pilot was complete. I believe that my education never will be complete and that curiosity is not the liability it is sometimes perceived to be--certainly not in the worlds of higher education and information technology. This realization has guided me to a wealth of professional (and personal) experiences and, I hope, to a modicum of wisdom.
