| Your personal background. | |
| --About Me-- Born 17 March 1973 Charlotte, NC, USA. Reside there again after living in Triangle, NC (4 months); Matthews, NC (2.5 years); and Butner, NC (2 years). I'm 1/4 Hungarian, 1/16 or so Cherokee Indian, probably some German, and definitely English/Irish/Scottish. I can be a constipated limey, a neat-freak/detail-obsessed Kraut, a war-loving bohunk (UFC rocks!) or a loud mick with the best of them (note my b'day). I also hold my liquor well :) Lest you think I have any political correctness in me at all, my favorite sports teams are the Washington Redskins and Atlanta Braves (and UNC Tarheels). I also like the Kansas City Chiefs to a degree, and the Chicago Blackhawks are ok with me due to their storied history. I travel, play hearts, spades, and Texas Hold-Em, read, watch the news on TV and read it online, love sports, and collect stamps and coins. Keeping up with politics and religious issues are pursuits of mine, and gastronomy (astronomy, too) is definitely down my alley. I sell women's and children's finer fashions on eBay under the username ►thetrendywoman◄. Mention you saw me here and get 1/2 off shipping to the USA, 1/4 elsewhere :) | |
| Your opinions about Radioactive@Home | |
| --About BOINC and Me-- I have experimented with several DC projects offered by BOINC, seeing which ones produced the most results and were most deserving of my unused flops. I circulate my flops among, currently, about 30 projects. Several have no work to do, and I keep them in reserve. Radioactivity? It just piques my interest :) I prefer medical projects, anti-cancer and genomic work, usable natural science projects, and numeric studies of immediate import... ...as mathematical conundrums are fine to study, but limited in application at present. And that's really what the rest of everything important is. Math is man's quantified exploration and recitation of theory and hypothesis on paper; you need facts to apply to your math, not math to deduce facts. That's putting the cart before the horse, the modern phrase for which being reverse engineering. Screw mortality. Let's get immortal... radioactive stuff can kill cancer... I lost a grandmother and great aunt to cancer; my father had it, but caught it early (being an MD helped him realize the signs- he's cancer-free 16 years, no chemo, no radiation :D ); and my grandfather had prostate cancer when he died of a heart attack... thus, I will hop in the sack with radiation. Any other projects that come online via BOINC that deal in protein cataloging or research... count me in. Immunology? Count me in. If it's medical, count me in... Beyond immunological and genetic research, I am most worried about NEA's and other NEO's. So I'll help out there, too, as best I can. I hope Orbit gets some more WU's :) Incidentally, the pretty lady you see is not I, but one Hayley Westenra. She's a classical crossover singer from Christchurch, NZ, and has perhaps the best voice on the planet today. She is the biggest entertainment act in the history of New Zealand, and worldwide is 4x platinum in total sales. Check her out... but remember, gentlemen, I saw her first... :D | |
