Hypatia. A woman that any female of intellect could aspire to be like. The quote from above did not actually come from Hypatia herself, but from a fanciful essay written by Elbert Hubbard. None the less, she was a great woman whose thirst for knowledge was strong. According to the Byzantine encyclopedia The Suda, her father Theon was the last head of the Museum at Alexandria. Theon was a mathematician, a philosopher, and a noted astronomer and astrologer. He educated Hypatia, teaching her mathematics, science, literature, philosophy, and the arts. Hypatia eventually became a mathematician, astronomer, and Platonic philosopher. Damascius (the last scholarch of the Academy in Athens), relates in The Suda that she "embraced the rest of philosophy with diligence. Putting on the philosopher’s cloak although a woman and advancing through the middle of the city, she explained publicly to those who wished to hear either Plato or Aristotle or any other of the philosophers." Author of a commentary on Diophantus, she also wrote a work called //The Astronomical Canon// and a commentary on //The Conics of Apollonius and was// //regarded as the first woman astronomer.//

Like the caption says "We have all been here before!", and I'm sure we will all get there again! I know when I first started using computers I felt completely lost. Web addresses, email, screen names, links, jPeg, flash drive, hard drive, these were all phrases from a foreign language as far as I was concerned! Thankfully, I was a quick study when it came to computers and didn't have too much difficulty familiarizing myself with them. I am fairly adept at using the internet and have no problem locating information via the web. I am also very good at editing photos and enjoy doing so for my friends in my spare time. I even considerd going to school for some sort of education in Photography but I'm not convinced it would be a stable or lucrative enough carreer option for me. I would like to learn more about how to keep my computer running at a good speed and utilizing my memory space. Like I said before, I like editing pics and that tends to take up alot of memory. I know it's very frustrating at first but stick with it and in no time at all you'll be a computer pro!! Below are some pictures I have edited of friends and family, I hope you enjoy. = **It has been fun and educational! An all together great learning exierience! click on the link below and friend me on face book!! I have a bunch of educational and informative links like these...........** = []#
