I received my undergraduate degrees in Biochemistry and Applied Computer Science from Lebanon Valley College (LVC) in good ol' Annville, PA. These were some of the best years as they meant long nights playing with technology, business, and friends.
With the UNIX underpinnings in Mac OS X, the whole world of opensource becomes available to the Macintosh. For those of us who remember the old, pre-X days, this is a welcomed innovation and addition to our repertoire of software. This site, started by Apple, exists to cater to the needs associated with opensource.
This site is dedicated to everything science/technology associated with the Mac. The site provides information pertaining to software available, development tools, hardware, and other technology and its use in our daily lives.
I spent a number of years in this research group studying the finer points of the application of quantum mechanics to biological macromolecules. I was a member of the group when it was at the Pennsylvania State University (PSU) - before it moved to the Quantum Theory Project at University of Florida - Gainesville.
The U.S. space agency credited with some of the earliest steps in humanity's future in space. While it is in many ways a dinosaur in space industry, its continued works are still crucial to many of the "proof-of-concept" developments that will be required to fully flesh-out future space travel.
A non-profit organization, started by Carl Sagan, Bruce Murray, and Louis Friedman, that is the world's largest space-interest group dedicated to inspiring the public with the adventure and mystery of space exploration.
Started officially in 2001 by Kennie Merz, Walter Greenblatt, and myself, QuantumBio is focused on the application of quantum mechanics to the life and pharmaceutical science world through the research and development of technologies based on work originally performed in the Merz Research Group.
While the iPod gets all of the popular buzz concerning Apple, many of us have been involved with the company and its products for many years. It turns out, their OS - being a user-friendly UNIX-like system - is perfect for the scientific world. My primary computer is and probably always will be a Mac.
SGI
At one time my favorite visualization company, I started with SGI's back in college when the Chem department bought its first high performance work station on my recommendation. It is unfortunate that the company hasn't really been all that successful in recent years!
