About Jim edit
I was born in Indiana and I've also lived in Illinois, Florida, Virginia, Martinique and China. My wife and I are currently living in China, with a son and two grandchildren in China, and a daughter and three grandchildren in Canada.
Most of my time on the Internet has been trying to practice and promote my ideas for community service and development. I started at GeoCities, then later I participated in some forums and groups related to my interests in God-centered living, improving myself to help improve the world, immersing myself in other cultures, and walking and working with abused and marginalized people. In every discussion I was trying to practice and promote my ideas for community service and development. Now I'd like to spend more time reading blogs, trying to learn how to encourage and support people in the good that I see them doing.
Offline, I've worked in precision mold design and manufacturing, computer programming, landscaping, economic and social research, environmental research, and youth outreach.
I've spent a lot of time, off and on, trying to use free software systems, including GNU/Linux, BSD and Plan9.
What I'm doing here edit
Originally I registered to participate in some Wikipedia discussions. Later I joined the Archive Team to work on some Geocities heritage projects. In November 2017 I came here to contribute some background information about Candace Owens.
