Profile: Michael Gmirkin

Personal background
From: Beaverton/Aloha, Oregon.
I'm in my late 20's.

I graduated from Beaverton High School in 1997, and the University of Oregon in 2001. Majored in Humanities (emphasis on Medieval Studies) and minored in information technology.

Have worked in the tech sector (computer sales, technical support, etc.), currently work in social service, for the time being.

Am an avid fan of science fiction movies/shows/books, fantasy novels, and knowledge in general. I also enjoy philosophy, math, computers, digital photography (Canon G9 + Canon S9000 = instant photo studio), anime, lastertag, gardening (the technological AND the organic, you ask? Well, yes), and a few too many other interests to count and relate.

Though, lately I've had a penchant for physics, meteorology, astronomy, astrogeology, and cosmology, on which subjects I've tried to self-educate. For some leading-edge, if non-mainstream, interpretations of the universe from a plasma physics and/or electrical engineering standpoint, please see http://www.thunderbolts.info and/or http://www.holoscience.com. Although the assertions are out there, keep reading through their TPOD (Thunderbolts Picture Of the Day) archive. The more you read, the more it makes sense. For terms you don't understand, look them up on wikipedia.com or thefreedictionary.com, and enjoy!

You may also wish to check out some of my own Thunderblog and NowPublic commentaries on astronomy... Likewise, my Digg.com contributions may also be of interest.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
I have mixed feelings, considering the size and scope of the project and the semi-improbability of achieving its goals. However, I'm also supportive and think it's a worthwhile effort.
