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.

Wow. That's harder than it looks, too. Fun game.

I was going to say I'd stick with my day job after trying that out, but I have about as good a track record in publishing papers. Maybe I should have been a plumber.

Ian, I believe that's called a reverse Suskind.
