Turns out people really DO want to know about me...
I'm an Aerospace Engineering student at the University of Colorado (fuck MIT!). I'm getting my Master's Degree with a concentration in Vehicle Systems. w00t nerds.
To pay the bills, I work at the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (a CU research facility) as a Command Controller. I perform live satellite mission operations for 4 satellites, QuikSCAT, ICESat, SORCE, and AIM. Kepler, which will launch in 2009, is the newest and highest-profile mission we will have ever operated at LASP. I also work on ground segment software, including telemetry analysis, health and status reports, long-term data trending, and all that other good aerospace stuff. Full time summer, half time school year.
I love music. It has changed my life in ways I never imagined. I am a snob, but I believe that the arrogance regarding my music taste is something I have earned. Let's face it: what I listen to rocks. I used to play in a band called Blues Day, and we did straight blues and rock 'n' roll. Loved jamming with them. We recorded a few EPs under the radar (and not without our fair share of problems!) when we were in high school and the first year of college, but we haven't been together for two years now.
Bands/artists I've seen in concert: The Allman Brothers Band (x2), Eric Clapton, Robert Randolph and the Family Band, Bob Dylan, New Earth Mudd, The Derek Trucks Band (x2), Scrapomatic (x2) The String Cheese Incident, The Yonder Mountain String Band, New Orleans Social Club, Iron Maiden, Amos Lee, and some other small-time stuff. This is a miserably short list that I hope to add to for the rest of my life. Regardless, these shows each had an effect on me. I've got some of these live on tape, too. Absolutely fucking phenomenal stuff, there.
As for UG... I used to moderate Musician Talk and Guitar & Bass Basics but gave it up because of school/work. I mainly browse the Religion Thread in the Pit, nowadays...
