| Introduction | I'm interested by pretty much everything. If I'm not, it's probably only my ignorance of said thing. I spent the last few years working and traveling on six continents, at least in part because I didn't want to give the US government any of my money. I recently had to get extra visa pages added to my passport. Now I'm working at Oakland's Chabot Space and Science Center, teaching people about astronomy and going to school. |
