 +======Thoughts======
 +Cultivating one's ability to think, to contemplate, can yield all kinds of rewarding opportunities. And a big part of what I strive to do in my classes is to cultivate that aptitude in others. It only seems to become more difficult over time- the temptations of immediacy and instant gratification having increasingly won out in the bad habits of many, at the ever-expanding deficiencies in observing, reading, writing, playing. And furthermore, what I like to call the "brute-force mentality", which thrives on memorization and regurgitation, a carefully-reciped following of some shallow notion that all-too-often seems to occupy far-too-many classrooms, claims so many incoming minds.

 +Following will be some notable exerpts, class mailing list posts, general treatises, or ramblings of my thoughts on various manners. I provide it here for the possibility of others to gain some insight:

-Armor Dynamics Project - During the summers of 2006, 2007, and 2008 I have been involved at SUNY Geneseo providing computer cluster support to the Physics group doing research on this project, enabled through a NYSTAR grant awarded to SUNY Geneseo, Alfred University, and Armor Dynamics, Inc. I've maintained a cluster environment to run MPP-DYNA (a cluster-aware application that is a general purpose transient dynamic finite element program capable of simulating many complex real world problems). I've used this as an opportunity to experiment with virtualization and have written a job queuing system to aid the physics research group in submitting multiple jobs to be processed on the cluster.+Armor Dynamics Project - During the summers of 2006, 2007, and 2008 (and through present providing remote system administration support), I have been involved at SUNY Geneseo providing computer cluster support to the Physics group doing research on this project, enabled through a NYSTAR grant awarded to SUNY Geneseo, Alfred University, and Armor Dynamics, Inc.
