"The problem with Livejournal is that we all think we are so close, but really, we know nothing about each other. Hence, I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about. Then post this in your LJ and find out what people don't know about you."


I don't think I posted this when it came around a while ago, but I have some new friends recently, so maybe this will be helpful. please have at. I will make a diligent attempt to answer all questions.

I went to college for to figure out what I wanted to do with my life. It didn't work. ;)

I also went to meet other like-minded people and be intellectually stimulated. That, I got.

My BA from Grinnell College is in history. I changed my major my senior year. Discussion of that here (http://www.netmouse.com/me/portfolio/major.html). I have a Master's of Applied Science (roughly an MS) from the University of Waterloo in Systems Design Engineering. That degree essentially boils down to "How to approach and perhaps solve complex problems that involve small numbers of humans and machines."

(small number being key in that these are not problems big enough to make statistical models of the human populations involved in them.)


If you go through the rest of my portfolio (http://www.netmouse.com/me/portfolio/), you can actually see all the classes I've taken, my grade point averages, etc. I wear my education on my sleeve. :)
