Yes -- I have always shown attention, often putting people off, to detail. That obviously fits a computer programmer. But at 60 I am backward enough on technology that I still listen to music CDs, and that I have a blu-ray player and flat-screen TV solely for visual quality. I was up to date on technology when I was 25... but that was when Carter was President. I have a tablet, a digital computer, and a 'dumb' phone rather than consolidating them in one item. My computer use is more typical now of a language or history major than of a computer nerd. I could probably go back to programming in BASIC if I got my hands on an ancient computer that still allows such.
I am going to a social worker soon, as I question whether I can get much more out of 'talk' therapy. I can do nothing to undo the unsteady gaze. I trust that my dog will do far better than I in reading body language. I have found that I might accept that nothing better alleviates anxiety than one alcoholic drink. One. The second one is worthless, but the first is safer than a pill.
You probably have seen enough of my writing skills to assess whether they might have commercial value. I've taken up painting as a hobby; attention to detail is essential to a good artist. I thought I was going to do primitive landscapes, but somehow I end up doing abstract impressionism. I love parabolas and hyperbolas.

The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
