Barry Everett’s Summary

Didn't invent the Internet, but aren't you glad somebody did? Really just another old code monkey, banging on the keyboard of life. Searching for intelligence in webspace, believing that thinking is the best way to travel...

Thinking out of the box, while working in the cube is my strongest suit. I have done best in collaboration with others of similar talent and diverse background. We only get in trouble with managers who let their egos or non-management skills limit the possibilities of synergy, and perform best for those who recognize the value of a few weeds in the garden.

I'm an old code monkey, hacking on keyboards to slice and dice data and information since my first Commodore VIC 20, on to PL-I on the IBM mainframe, through HTML 0.0 and on to Linden Script. A New 60's Generation-isto, I now prefer exploring the amazing possibilities of Knowledge Networking with a dynamic group of 'networlders' that include partners and colleagues from everywhere and everywhen.

Barry Everett’s Specialties:

Interactive communities and virtual collaboration will provide the context for continued progress of human knowledge and commerce. What's around the bend now? Ask me, and I'll tell you. For me, music and movies interpret the mythos of our human existence - are the literature of our world. Web 2.0 and 3-D are the cuneiform of our worlds that give us the tools for sharing knowledge, which is never out of fashion. The best movie sequel ever made, 2010, sums it up nicely, "Something wonderful..."
