At some point in the not-terribly-distant future, I hope to found a self-sustaining collective of clever people, for fun, profit(?), and the promotion of human life in the universe. This might wind up in Qatar, Bangladesh, Scandinavia, the Massachusetts Bay Area, the SF Bay Area, Japan, Germany, or the dustbin of overly idealistic plans. (Yes, I have a special bin for overly idealistic plans. In my district they can't be recycled with residential mixed paper.) The most challenging aspect of this concept is to curtail unproductive competition with other people who will inevitably have the same idea. (Some sort of cooperative federation...) I'm presently looking for people who might be interested in being a part of such an organization.
I targeted my research group at the Media Lab ("Physics and Media") as an awesome place to work since I was 8, reading a book about future developments written by its professor. Unfortunately, you can only work there by moving to Boston, and having undergrad degrees is a requirement too. Somehow (I'm not quite sure how), I managed to do all that plus some software consulting without taking too much time, and now, My research is vaguely in programming models that are more aware of the real world, its constrains and semantics. My interests are anything that's related to math, from math itself to programming languages to music to physics to engineering to philosophy. It's amazing how much can be seen as math if you're obsessed enough with it.
Anyways, for now I'm just working toward changing the face of computer science forever. Not that I necessarily expect to succeed, but it's something to strive for, and it's a fun problem to work on.
