Welcome to my homepage. The information and links below will hopefully give you some sort of idea of who I am. And maybe, just maybe, the meaning of life will be revealed. Good luck.

The President is merely the most important among a large number of public servants. He should be supported or opposed exactly to the degree which is warranted by his good conduct or bad conduct, his efficiency or inefficiency in rendering loyal, able, and disinterested service to the Nation as a whole. Therefore it is absolutely necessary that there should be full liberty to tell the truth about his acts, and this means that it is exactly necessary to blame him when he does wrong as to praise him when he does right. Any other attitude in an American citizen is both base and servile. To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but it morally treasonable to the American public. Nothing but the truth should be spoken about him or any one else But it is even more important to tell the truth, pleasant or unpleasant, about him than about any one else.
- Teddy Roosevelt in the Kansas City Star, May 7, 1918

I sometimes fancy myself to be a writer, and used to be Editor-In-Chief of Americana, a web publication by the students of NCSU. The below links are to some of the essays and stories I have written that I am proud of (or at least the ones I can still read without cringing; I hate my writing).

The International House of Pancakes Conspiracy
Apologia Mathematica
Supreme Court Rules Holiday Science to be Taught in Public Schools
For the love of the GRE or the GER
The Zero-Tuition Argument

In a stunning old development, I have found pictures of myself that are actualy in a format whereby they can be posted on the web. Check out all of my pictures (as pathetically small a collection as they make) on my pictures page.

If you have any requests or suggestions related to the webpage or my personal appearance, please email them to me. You can find my email on the Penn math department webpages, but I won't post it here for those spamming bastards to sweep with their bots.
