"Dad, what does epizeuxis mean?"

"Go look it up."

Big messy tears rolled down my face as I cried. My father asked why I was upset. I handed him the paper I wrote for my Freshman Composition class at the local community college. A big, fat, ugly, red C glared at me from the top of the paper I was holding. "I don't understand. What did I do wrong?"

"Really Grandpa? I can come?"

"Yes, but you need to follow the rules."  He put his hand up and started counting on his fingers. He raised one finger. "We leave the campsites cleaner than we find them. Sometimes you need to clean up other people's messes."

First there were Content Delivery Networks (CDN), that sped up delivery of content to end users with edges around the world. 

Those edges weren't fully utilized and the idea of edge computing came to be. Why not use that extra capacity of the edge nodes for computing? 

"Mom, why are you stretching?"

"Stretching feels good. Sometimes, if things hurt, stretching makes you feel better. Walking too."

How do routing tables get populated? What are autonomous systems? What do colorful cubes have to do with anything?

There are four nucleic acids used as the rungs in DNA, CATG. I remember them in that order because cat-g works for my noggin.

I also remember which go together by the shape of the letters. T and A are all angular, so they go together. C and G are round, so they go together.

Bubbling with excitement, I raised my hand. I loved answering questions.

My teacher asked, "Gwen - what are the main classifications for living things?"

I like reading books about the brain, how we learn, and study habits that we should adopt. I wish I knew these things before grammar school, middle school, high school, and college. This will still be useful, because I am a lifelong learner and I'll have plenty of time to use these techniques.
