I am currently a sophomore at Earlham College studying computer science. Some of my interests are *nix and open source (Linux and NetBSD in particular), wireless networking, portable computing, and system administration.

The only thing I'm uncertain about is how I'm gonna get the money to him. I might come home this weekend just to get it from him :).
