Did you know that Alexander Graham Bell didn’t invent the telephone? I didn’t know that. Huh.
Important Note
This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.

I first learned about Meucci from the Godfather III. In it they present the “Meucci award” to Michael C. and he asks who Meucci was.
