Born and raised Swede, moved to the U.S. in 1997, naturalized in 2011. Interested in computers (unix and linux), home theater, amateur astronomy (I have built my own 8" reflector telescope, working on a 12" mirror for a second telescope, and also own an 80mm APO refractor, which was used to take the photo of M31 you see on the left), science (primarily cosmology, astrophysics, quantum mechanics). Currently learning to play the drums. I am a life-long happy atheist.
