I am currently looking for a dissertation topic, and although I don't really have one yet, I'm interested in distributed tuple spaces. They present an interesting way of coordinating distributed processes, and pose interesting questions about scalability, security, and reliability.
I am now a grad student at U.Va. in Charlottesville, where I study CS, participate in the Wesley Foundation, read and re-read everything I can get my hands on by or about J.R.R. Tolkien, argue with people (and the occasional fencepost) about various philosophical and non-philosophical things, play go, and occasionally hike, paint, or do other random things.
One such random thing is my Virtual Walks page, which has virtual tours I have made of parts of the campuses of William and Mary and U.Va. College campuses are pretty interesting places, because they often have unusual architecture, interesting landscaping, and living history. I'm particularly fond of these two campuses because I've spent so much time on them, and I thought it'd be fun to try to capture a record of them.
