This log is mean to satisfy the irreplaceable engineering tool that we all learned about in school: the logbook.  This technical log is meant for me to look back on and see what I have learned.  Hopefully you will find it useful as well and perhaps help guide me through the journey of software engineering.

Many of the founding fathers of science and mathematics all kept logs of their findings and ideas.  Leonardo da Vinci is one such scientist and artist.  The fact that da Vinci was left handed and wrote from right to left inspired the title of my log.  Some say this was for obscurity.  Some say he was one of the fathers of cryptography.  His drawings and logs left behind were amazing, including flying machines one of which greatly resembles a helicopter.

Picasso said “Everything you can imagine is real.”  While I’m not sure that this is completely true, we probably all own Discs of music that we spin to listen to just as H.G. Wells described in the “Time Machine.” We also daily depend on nuclear submarines (just as Jules Verne described in “20,000 Leagues Under the Sea”) for national security.  Although my log will probably not be as imaginative as all that, hopefully you will find it useful.
