    as an atheist. In the past few months I passed this milestone. I don't remember the exact date but I do remember the day. Amazing how freeing it was.

    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.

                          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.

                                    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 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.

                                        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.

                                        Yet complete intellectual sterility is so much ahead of what you have.

                                          At least I didn't stop thinking at age 11.
