Profile
Dave 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.

Another amazing person died this week. His name is Nick and he can be found at nickannstreet (you can google the name). Nick was a young man who died of ALS. He also has an amazing story that he has journaled through a blog.
