I would like to thank my wife and life partner Brenda, above all else. She creates the balance in life that makes anything possible. Thank you for the eternal smile on my heart and for being so supportive. Also, thank you Lona, my favorite author on the planet, for being an inspiration. Lastly, I am thankful for the amazing work that the following people have pioneered: Grace Hopper, Tim Berners-Lee, Jack Kilby, Douglas Engelbart, and Kevin Miller. Without their efforts, this book would not have been a reality.
