        Reading your message made me curious so I cecked out your profile. Are you still teaching/coaching robotics. My brother-in-law has been a Roboticist pretty much since he graduated from the university and every now and then I get to help out with some of the coding, love it.

                I have had two such milestones in my life: I remember the day when I was set free from my state of spiritual death and made alive in Christ. I remember the day when I was set free from religion.

                              Congratulations on a lifetime of complete intellectual sterility.

                              Chaining ourselves to the moral high ground does not make us good guys. Aside from making us easy targets, it merely makes us idiotic prisoners of our own self loathing.

                                        Reading your message made me curious so I cecked out your profile. Are you still teaching/coaching robotics. My brother-in-law has been a Roboticist pretty much since he graduated from the university and every now and then I get to help out with some of the coding, love it.

                                        Not as much. The team laid out for two years but competed again this year. I helped get them started but backed off at toward the end. I am still active with a group that provides workshops and another competition in the fall for the bay area teams, WRRF[^]. I'm also a regular here, Homebrew Robotics Club[^]. Here too, I guess, IEEE RAS[^]. Most of the software I wrote was for factory automation or instrumentation. Just bouncing bits around doesn't really do much for me.

                                          I'm interested to know what happened, and from what state you moved into atheism.

                                          I had a discussion with a friend about the nature of the universe and during our talk, it just became clear to me. Growing up, anothough I guess I wasn't fully grown at the time, I went to a couple of protestant churches. I guess at 11, I had gathered enough pieces of the puzzle to put it together.
