Happy 2005!
Um, so it's a new year...well, not really, since it's like February, but I thought since my last post was about Christmas, I really should say something about the new year.
School has started with a vengence. Four more months. Now that the end is in sight, I am ready to be there.
I just finished a book on Quantum Computing. It is a fascinating field that offers lots of promise and lots of questions, very few of which are answered. Perhaps that is part of what draws me to that field. It is an area where relatively little progress has been made. Of course, it has had some of the most brilliant minds in Physics working on it, so I am not sure what good I could do, but I think I would like to at least understand more of the field. The last chapter of the book was full of bizzare and far fetched theories on multiverses and universal computation. I am amazed on one hand at the brilliancy of some of these theories, and yet, I am also amazed at how little they grasp because of a poor worldview and a total rejection of God. People would prefer to believe that the world was created from a quantum element than God... Ockham's razor seems like it should take affect sometime around here... ;-) I hope that I can come to a fuller understanding of Quantum mechanics so that I can understand our world better, our culture better, and our relationship towards God better, and perhaps I can make some useful contribution to the area at the same time. ;-) We shall see...
Anyway, this is an attempt to restart this dead piece of cyber-flesh. Perhaps if I posted something that didn't reference quantum in it, it might get read... Good night my friends!

At least you were in time for Chinese New Year!
Man, what a nerd!
Hey, if you don't post again for another year (likely), you can just change the title for 2006 and it will still be fitting!
Can I shave my legs with Ockham's razor?
