Journey Into the World Of Art

    Thomas Mahon Author of CHARGED BODIES - Turning Farmland into Silicon Valley Gold

    Thomas Mahon Author of CHARGED BODIES - Turning Farmland into Silicon Valley Gold

    Thomas Mahon has a unique perspective on Silicon Valley. He was an insider when Wang was the rage and Apple was still a seedling.
    His book, CHARGED BODIES, originally published in 1985, is an insider's perspective of the semiconductor industry. Mahon interviewed 25 people whose goal was "to create technology and tools in service to humanity." In the Afterward to the 2024 edition, Mahon questions whether those goals were accomplished.
    The book explores what it took to turn rich farmland into a wealthy center of high-tech. He takes us into a world before personal computers, the Internet, or social media. He takes us into the emerging world of new technologies as seen by those inventors, bankers, artists, hackers, detectives, journalists, lawyers, scientists, and philosophers who helped shaped the Silicon Valley of today.
    Whatever one's view of A.I., Social Media, the Internet, and all, this book is a reboot to our thinking of technology. Has it been a service to humanity or has it become the Master of humanity? Mahon now urges us all to "to rise up and rethink technology."
    CHARGED BODIES, by Thomas Mahon, the 2024 edition is published by Pragmatic Stories. The book is available online.

    Chris Gaunt - An Actor with a Triple Threat

    Chris Gaunt - An Actor with a Triple Threat

    Chris Gaunt is an actor, with the triple threat of producer, director, and writer. He has appeared in 23 films and numerous episodic shows, commercials, and music videos. His production company, Chazy Lake Productions has produced several projects including Laurina and A Lasting First Impression.
    Chris's journey begins with a decision to make a change. Chris came to acting after many years in the corporate environment. When he decided to follow his passion, Chris discovered there is more to acting than knowing the lines. It involves the passion for the art coupled with the reality that this, like all aspects of entertainment, is a business. Using this experience Chris launched in the fields of producing, directing, and writing. It is this mixed with his acting skills that makes Chris unique - he believes in giving back.
    Chris is a coach for actors, directors, and writers, and that altruistic nature follows Chris throughout his life. Chris serves as a board member and volunteer for Woofs for Warriors, Inc., an organization that finds dogs in need of a home and pairs them with veterans who have served our country. The dogs can be trained to become service dogs or just be companion animals for veterans suffering from PTSD and traumatic brain injury. He is an active volunteer for North Country Wildcare, a non-profit that rehabs injured wild animals with the goal of being able to release the animals back into the wild. 
    It is all these components that make Chris Gaunt more than an actor - it shows that humanity is the most important role for every one.
