Welcome to my Encyclopedia

If you made it here, you found my notes page.  I read a lot of information and then I test out that information so I can put it in my own words.  After trying browser bookmarks, trello boards, evernote, plain old notebook, I'm trying this option to reference all the great stuff I read. I am not taking credit for the great content out there, I only needed a spot where I can find it again and again.   Never stop learning!
