a fast-attack nuclear submarine, as a nuclear reactor operator. Received
Honorable Discharge at the rank of ET1(SS) (E-6).
I have also an (inactive) alumni page located HERE .
(note - the U.S.S. La Jolla is no longer active as a warship; it is being converted into a training unit
and has been cut in 3 pieces, according to THIS
page on Wikipedia, as of September 2015)
Primary Interests
- Computer Science
- Engineering (in general)
- Music (I like Jazz and Rock&Roll) - see my Music page!
- Physical Sciences (math, chemistry, physics)
- Art and Literature (not nearly as much as music, though)
- Talk Radio
- Anime (better than MOST american TV)
- Military aircraft and warships (and combat flight simulator programs)
(and someday I'd like to get a pilot's license, and my own aircraft).
- Politics and Religion and other controversial topics
For more, see my anti-global-warming
- The Success of Supply-Side Economics - for more on that, go HERE.
- Flight and Rocketry. Some time ago I experimented with pepsi bottle water rocketry. I saw
a video from South Africa where someone set a record height for a water rocket at 830 meters. That's impressive!
- Ranting. I like to rant. See my RANT page. There's a LOT to rant about these days.
If you want a cool "star field" screen saver that supports red/cyan 3D glasses in 'anagraphic'
mode then try THIS (very old) one: star32.zip
