Uranium proposal.pdf (Full)

    - The Primary source of my group’s funding as we study uranium in NE-Central Wyoming.

Research Proposal.pdf

    - A paper I wrote early in my first year of graduate school to clarify my project’s goals.

Graduate board exam (coming soon)

    - UW requires all Grad students to have an “exam” with their master’s degree board by the end of their second semester. This will be added when I finish preparing for that exam.

Privacy and Applications to a Digital World.doc

    - A handout from one of my talks that deals with the nuances of “privacy” and attempts to provide ways to understand privacy in the context of an individual's setting.

Tolkien and the Machine.odt

    - An early essay from my undergraduate studies. I find three different meanings of “Machines” in Lord of the Rings. Can some machines be good? Is “goodness” even a trait that a machine can posses? What unifies the category of machines in LOTR?

Bucket Sort.cpp

    - A fast sorting algorithm which performs best on contiguous datasets or datasets with a small range and high density. In ideal conditions it is Big O of 3N (Linear), but it is Big Omega of XN(Indeterminate). Contact me if you would like a pre-complied version.

RockPagerScissors.pl

    - A “slow” (as in “Prolog”) game-playing program that uses a combination of history, sex/age/personality heuristics, pseudo-random number generation, gambits, and statistical variability. It can easily beat most humans, who are notoriously bad at picking random numbers.... And you thought RPS was a fair game, didn’t you?

Dys_Subterranean_Map.vmf (coming soon)

    - Made by (mis-)using the equipment I and four friends “Temporarily Liberated” from the Physics lab at my undergraduate collage. We made this map of the heat-tunnels under our collage campus. It is kinda-scary that we could even identify the locations of doors inside the tunnels (Most of the internal doors are left open, and we suspect that none of them are locked.) This was my earliest escapade into the realm of shallow-earth Geophysics! This will be added as soon as I confirm that the other guys (and girl) are okay with sharing it.
