“What I hear I forget, what I see I remember, what I do I understand.” – Xun Zi


Actively working on something with one’s own mind and hands provide experience, from experience comes wisdom and understanding.

The purpose of this site is to provide a frame work for myself to reinforce what I learn, but also to allow for the free flow of knowledge and experience to others. Without others shoulders to stand on, we cannot achieve anything great. This site also can provide knowledge and experience for others to learn from, just like I have learned from other peoples projects.

If you have questions, ask those with the knowledge and use it to its fullest.
