   Colin's Blurbs
About me:

I'm an Eagle Scout, and a machine learning expert. You may expect me, based on this evidence, to build a text classifier out of sticks and rope, using only my trusty pocket knife. Perhaps I will frustrate these expectations. Perhaps I will not.

My main Web presence is at entirely safe and fun.

Who I'd like to meet:

The one more trustworthy than all the Buddhas and sages? Failing that, Zombie Cliff Burton. We'd go out for coffee and brains.

Also, I'm growing fond of the person behind myspacecivilized, whose moshi skin I've adapted for this page.
