Profile

davidog.pngDave Bacon is a theoretical ski bum who is also a pseudo professor. His research is on quantum computing, his scientific passions extend to everything in physics, mathematics, computer science and beyond, and his personal pleasures include making wine, playing poker, skiing, camping, and daydreaming (although not all of those at the same time.) Nothing he says on this blog should be construed as having anything to do with his employer or his dog.

He who pluralizes octopus as octopi reveals his ignorance of three languages -- Latin, because octopus does not derive from Latin, Greek, because the Greek plural of oktopous is oktopodes, and English, because the English plural is octopuses.
