The sense of wonder in the eyes of the baby in the photo is the same wonder that inspired this web/blog site.

The baby — sitting on his great-grandmother’s lap in 1983 — is my oldest son, Jason, who is now a digital communications manager for a major pharmaceutical corporation and who designed and helped build the site. His imagination and instinctive sense of usability continue to amaze me.

I dedicate this learning place to him and to my other son, Justin, whose street-smarts and zeal to learn sharpen my own thinking. And a special tribute to an exacting designer, Lauren Sobotor, Justin’s soul-mate, who created the SkaareWorks logo.
