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.

I voted, even though I don't Twitter.

I voted for you Dave, and I too do not have Twitter! You didn't say what category, so I picked "science." I hope as reward you'll let me shamelessly promote myself too, so I proudly announce that I have become a center of controversy at your rival (?) Chad Orzel's site "Uncertain Principles." He thinks I'm wrong in my critique (name link) of the decoherence interpretation in quantum mechanics. Check out his post http://scienceblogs.com/principles/2010/01/neil_bates_owes_me_160.php/
You guys and gals should pitch in! What I really need is support for at least getting the empirical prediction right, if I can convince you I did, aside from what it would mean.

I couldn't get a single on of my almost 600 Facebook "friends" to vote for my paper in the 2009 FQXi Essay Contest. One of the winners, Sabine, has fine and popular Physics blog. Just saying...
