My personal background
I'm 66 years old, retired, and I reside in Western Washington. I was a professional software engineer from 1964 until 2001 and 30 of those years I spent working in Silicon Valley. My last 10 years were spent in the wireless/radio business developing firmware for a variety of commercial and military products. I am still very interested in computers and am on the Internet daily, doing research or communicating, whatever. I don't code much anymore, but instead, I use the computer for continuous learning and occassional artistic self expression.

Opinion about BOINCstats/BAM!
My primary interest in volunteer grid computing is for participating in the several projects involving any kind of research that may lead to cures for cancer. Virtually all of my ancestors passed away due to cancer of one form or another. So far I have joined or started 5 BOINC teams, 4 of which I am the founder and the only member. I am known as Not2Nutz!
