Unlocking Life's Mysteries

This book is a profound examination of three big questions.

Where do we come from? 

• Did the universe start with a big bang or was it created by a superior being?

Why are we here? 

• Is the meaning of life to pursue our own happiness or is there a higher purpose?

Where are we going?

• Is there life after death?

Take a fascinating journey through history, science, philosophy, and religion to find answers to these existential questions.  Examine the theory of evolution against historical accounts in the Bible supported by a wealth of examples, quotations, and scientific arguments. This book is recommended for anyone who is not satisfied with superficial answers and desires a fresh look at these important questions.  

The Mainframe

What is a mainframe? 

Mainframes have been around since the 1950's and while they once dominated the computer world their monopoly has been eroded by new technologies such as smaller/cheaper servers.  Mainframes are however still very relevant and their use continues to grow.

Never used a mainframe?  Think again!  Mainframes are utilized to design, build and sell a variety of products from airplanes and automobiles to soda and sneakers.  Every time you swipe a credit card, book a hotel room, receive an insurance quote, purchase paint at Home Depot or shampoo at Walmart, you indirectly used a mainframe.  Banks, insurance companies, retailers, hotels, airlines and governments rely heavily on mainframes to run critical aspects of their operations.

Explore the fascinating world of mainframes.
