About me:

My main web site is

http://wwww.geocities.com/neutrino78x

It has links to all my pages (myspace, friendster, youtube, etc.)

About me, well I have lived with my dad for the past 5 years, I make $8/hr, and I have no college degree. I do not have a car and have never had a license (I have never known how to drive). I am also a virgin who has never kissed anyone. At least I have the fun that can be had in my situation. :-)

A good place to get backgrounds for your computer desktop is NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day.

This is the flag of the greatest Nation in the history of the world, the United States of America:

Latest earthquakes in the San Francisco Bay Area. Clicking on this map will take you to the Earthquake Map Page for Northern California, where you can click on the squares to get data on that earthquake.

I believe the United States of America is the greatest and most free nation in the history of the world.

I think we should create residential colonies on Mars, and also return to the Moon for the same purposes.

I am a greater advocate of Mars because it is larger and has greater natural resources. Mars has an atmosphere and more gravity than the Moon. It has more water. It has abundant iron, which is useful for the establishment of heavy industry. The force of gravity on Mars is closer to that of Earth than what there is on the Moon. I support Robert Zubrin's Mars Direct plan, which uses indigenous resources to generate fuel, thus reducing the fuel requirement for a given Mars mission by at least half. His Mars Society can be found on this link.

On the Moon, the greatest near term scientific and technological benefit which can be had, in my opinion, would the placement of a radio telescope on the far side of the Moon. This would provide the mass of the Moon as a shield against the radio interference from Earth and make it possible to achieve much better images with radio astronomy. Similar gains can be found with optical telescopes there, as the absence of atmosphere will prevent distortions due to thermal causes, yet the Moon is a more stable platform than flying in open space as the Hubble Telescope does.

I am a CompTIA A+ Certified Desktop Computer Technician. I normally run three different OSs on my PC: FreeBSD, Red Hat Fedora Core Linux, and Microsoft Windows, I use Firefox as my default browser in all platforms. I usually use GNOME for my GUI.

As far as politics, I am a moderate liberal. I am a Federalist, supporting a strong central government, and I also strongly support civil liberties. I am pro choice, in favor of the separation of Church and State, against the death penalty, and against "single payer" health care for adults, although I do support universal care as a goal. I'm against nuclear weapons but I support using force when necessary to defend this great Nation and her allies. I was against the war in Iraq but in favor of what we did in Afghanistan in response to 9/11.
