Hi, I'm Jim! 

"Connect, do good, have fun" is how I aspire to live life. I value connections with people at all levels (especially close connections), try to have positive impacts on the world, and enjoy activities.

I invite you to explore the eleven sections of my site to learn about my interests and activities. I write about things that are somewhat obscure but I think deserve more attention. Then ask yourself:

• Do you relate to some of these? Or is your interest piqued?  

• Would you like to be mentored, or learn in person about any of these? I've reached the point in life where I can pass on knowledge to  others.

• Are you a part of an organization looking for help with something along these lines? I may be able to volunteer (I live in Madison, Wisconsin). I'm a retired software engineer who likes to work with people.

If any of these appeal to you, let's meet... I'm "retired" so have a little more time now.

Connect

You can reach me in the following ways; email is the best (here's why):

• Email: jimwink - madison <that 'a'-like symbol> yahoo.com (you'll need to type this address into your email program using the '@' symbol and no spaces; I'm trying to avoid SPAM).

• Land line: 2 5 9 - 1 8 1 2 (area code 6 0 8 for both).

• Mobile: 3 3 4 - 7 2 5 1 (email preferred to texting).

• Facebook, FaceTime, Google Meet, & Zoom: Yes!
