Autobiography:
Born in the backwoods of Oregon and left to my own devices I developed a personality culled from television. After reading too many Kurt Vonnegut novels I soon realized that I had no place in the modern world. The darkness of this revelation pushed me into the world of physics and caused me to obtain a B.S. in physics from Oregon State University; It also caused me to start a masters thesis at Portland State University, but did not cause me to finish it. I now live in the desert, but I one day hope to be part of the detritus that makes up western Oregon.
