Hi my name is Sandy Ressler and I’m a rapidly aging computer geek. Mostly I work with web based computer graphics, but in 2013 I became obsessed with Bitcoin. I write a blog (doesn't everyone) about bitcoin called: Bitcoin In Plain English and please follow me on twitter @btcplainenglish. I've got some experience writing (coauthor of the classic “Life with Unix” and a couple of books on electronic publishing) so I thought I’d try to help explain the strange, wonderful and always interesting world of Bitcoin. There is also a LOT of misinformation, hype and just strange stuff out there mischaracterizing Bitcoin and digital currency. I hope to clear some of this up and help make Bitcoin (or its successor) meaningful to the everyday person. If you really want to know more about me look at: http://www.sandyressler.com/sandycv.html more importantly go to my blog http://www.BitcoinInPlainEnglish.com
