Welcome, and About the Author

Hello, and welcome to my blog.  My name is Joe Levy.  Family lore has it that the first complete sentence out of my mouth was "How does it work?".  I've spent my life answering that question, and doing interesting and useful things with technology.  I've been a computer programmer since childhood, and I'm an Electrical Engineer by training.  Nowadays, I work to bridge the gap between the people who build products, and the people who use them.  I believe that the most successful products hide the technology from their users, but those folks who make the effort to understand a little about the technology can make better use of it.

Talking to people, I find a lot of misconceptions about how things work, and a lot of adherence to obsolete truths, or just plain myths and urban legends.  I'll be exploring these as best as I can, and show how knowing what's really going on can make your life a little easier, better, or at least save you a bit of money.
