"The liberties of our country, the freedom of our civil constitution are worth defending at all hazards; and it is our duty to defend them against all attacks. We have received them as a fair inheritance from our worthy ancestors: they purchased them for us with toil and danger and expense of treasure and blood, and transmitted them to us with care and diligence. It will bring an everlasting mark of infamy on the present generation, enlightened as it is, if we should suffer them to be wrested from us by violence without a struggle, or be cheated out of them by the artifices of false and designing men." (Samuel Adams, 1777)

[edit] Real Life

I live in the South East US. I am married, and my wife and I have one son who is a college student.

I work in engineering during the day (aerospace, systems engineering, and communication system modeling).

By night, I often do engineering consulting (RF circuits, antennas, filters, hardware design, and electromagnetics modeling).

My degrees are in electrical engineering: BSEE, MSEE, and Ph.D.

I hold one US patent, and have three others pending.

I have published and contributed to technical conference papers, mostly for SPIE and IEEE conferences.

My favorite operating system is Linux (Fedora Core), but I also use Windows (in various flavors). Most of my computers are dual-boot (Linux/Windows.)

I build all my own computers for my engineering consulting business (except for laptops).

My research interests include topics in error correction coding, cryptography, numerical analysis, and electromagnetic propagation, and defense-related topics, among many other interests.
