I Exist Here.

Noel Michael Conrad (also known as Noel Danger!) is rad. Noel began his existance about nine months before his birth in Annapolis, MD on the 28th day of October, 1981 near 5AM. Born to a mother talented in the graphic arts and a father possesing superior genetic musicianship, Noel was predisposed for greatness. In the year 2007 he launched this page as an experiment in popular blog design. The intention of this webspace is continuous propagation of the thoughts, ideas and works of Noel Conrad as he progresses beyond his living years.

“I didn’t always exist, but now that I do, I always will.” – Noel Conrad

Noel’s Grandfather Anthony Lee Conrad II (pictured below) was at one time CEO of RCA and was a strong proponent of the video disc and the vinyl LP record format.

Noel attended Calvary Lutheran Elementary School and Baltimore Lutheran Middle/High School for his primary education. During his early adolescence he became aware that Christianity was simply a flawed and ancient misunderstanding. He began to understand that the universe was infinitely more complicated than a man-made concept could explain. He was able to accept that although the Christian Utopian Ideal has some appealing aspects, it is just another example of humans trying to make their lives feel safer and more meaningful.

Let me digress for a moment and explain my feelings about religion in general.

One of the most interesting and important facts about the Universe, it is a place filled with seemingly infinite possibilities and simultaneously only one actual finite time line of reality. Humans are endowed with the ability to imagine and process an amazing combination of different information.

Unfortunately for everyone who believes anything, no matter how long you live or how much you study you will never know the entire time line of reality. You will die before it ends and it will continue on beyond your understanding just as did had been progressing before your birth. A finite reality which encompasses everything is forcing itself to progress in an alien and partially inhuman way. Individually, no one will be able to understand all of reality at the same time if that individual is still constricted by time. So instead of thinking “I am” try thinking, “I am, I’m not, we are, we aren’t, it is, it was, it wasn’t, it will be, it won’t be, it could be and it couldn’t be”. Thanks.

After graduating high school, Noel attended 3 semesters at Towson University and 2 semesters at Essex Community College in Maryland. During this period he decided that University learning was both too expensive and too time consuming. He understood that a University degree could be a useful tool in gaining employment in the current American society. However, once he came to terms with the fact that he would be wasting all those precious seconds of his living days in classrooms, the decision to pursue other goals seemed more prudent. To spend so much time and energy, to work to pay to waste time to earn a degree that would earn him respect in an American social structure that he didn’t much care for seemed like a horrible way to proceed. During this time, Noel studied primarily Biology, Computer Science, Math and Lab Science.
