Class Standing:
5th Year Senior
Why are you taking this class?
I am taking this class because I first met Prof. Hammond as a guest lecturer in another class and have heard great things from previous students. Unfortunately, after hearing the first day that this class focuses much on the ethics, I realize that this may not be the right class for me. If I have to present my article tomorrow I will probably drop the class in favor of taking my Computer Engineering Area Electives in the Communications and Networks Track.
What experience do you bring to this class?
Well, I've always been able to do everything I tried to, so there is that.
What are your professional life goals?
Most of my life goals are not professional, but some that can be consider are:
Controlling (or Owning) an Empire (or Business)
Investing in Promising Students
Accelerating Brilliant Ideas
Making History from the Present
Write Software a "Couple Mill" Lines Long
What are your personal life goals?
Audio Engineering for some Major Record Companies.
Enhancing my perception of my own mind, body, and soul.
I really want to go Skydiving!
Short term I'm focused on getting a new motorcycle.
What do you want to do after you graduate?
All sorts of things, especially travel,
but I have to work instead for 40 years before I do that!
What do you expect to be doing in 10 years?
Surfing and Bar-b-queuing every Sunday in California.
I'll have a wife and three kids (twin boys and a younger daughter).
CTO of a currently unfounded Neo-Technological Company
Hopefully I'll be able to teach one class a semester at a local college.
What do you think will be the next biggest technological advancement in computer science?
The development of analog components (like transistors) to replace their digital binary counterparts.
If you could travel back in time, who would you like to meet and why?
John Browning
He is credited with 128 gun patents.
That's quite the Engineer.
Describe your favorite shoes and why they are your favorite?
Slippers are LEGIT. Especially the soft, comfy ones.
Excluding pink ones*
If you could be fluent in any foreign language that you're not already fluent in, which one would it be and why?
Chinese (Mandarin) because it is completely different from English and Spanish.
Give some interesting fact/story about yourself.
I would have become a Doctor (Reconstructive Surgeon helping to bridge Artificial Limbs with Brain Function for Veterans) but Dr. Bodolus just doesn't have a good ring to it.
