January 25th 2008 - The word for the day is "knowledge", pass it on

Way back when I was just a wee lad, I wanted to make a record. I wanted to record my own songs and have official copies for everyone to listen to. It seemed like the people who could help me figure it out were keeping it like a gaurded secret. (Mind you this was before the internet was a phenomenon.)

Then something magic happened. Someone took an interest in what I was doing and decided to pass on what he knew... to me. This kind person (his name is Clinton Kirby) gave me the tools and sparked something in me that would never die. It changed my life. The DIY (do it yourself) attitude that he had and the generosity with which he shared his knowledge made me a better student. Anything I've been interested in since has been a lot easier for me to research and digest. I vowed to myself after that to share my knowledge with anyone who simply asked for it.

So I now I challenge you. Take someone under your wing, teach them whatever you can, and I promise you that you will be rewarded in watching them grow.
