In all seriousness, I'm taking this class because I saw a year old poster of 436 students and recognized I guy I know who had a talent for picking classes. Probably would have wound up in here anyway, it's in my primary track and seemed a logical next step after 420.

My computer science experience consists of the lower level courses everyone takes, plus the aforementioned AI class, 463 (probably not relevant), and 431 (definitely not relevant).

Ten years from now I plan to be in Colorado. Everything else is speculation, since I don't have a job lined up (yet).

I understand from Dr. Klappenecker that quantum computing wrecking the current cryptography paradigm is as good a bet as any for the next big advance.

To answer the question you meant to ask with the time machine, George Washington.

I'm a fan of the handlebar mustache. Been wearing it long enough.

If I could learn one foreign language fluently overnight, it would be German. Be nice to be able to understand all those old war movies.

Fun fact: I was homeschooled for 11 1/2 years.
