A: It's Lithuanian (spend some time at that site & you'll probably know more about Lithuanians than I do)

Cornell BS M&AE
PATMOS International Corp.
Parallel Asynchronous Transputing Multiple Operating System For a time, I worked for a company in Ocean City, MD developing distributed, fault tolerant, high availability clusters. They seem to be gone now, though. It was fun getting paid to do what I'd probably be doing during my spare time anyway.
FEAtris [3D tetris + FEA screenshot]
3D tetris used to create input scenarios for finite element analysis. I hacked Gnome 3D tetris to spit out geometry information to a perl script that formatted it as a brick FEA problem for analysis using slffea. Every time you dropped a brick, the 3D SLFFEA output would be recomputed and updated.

Pressured-air-powered motor. Our design didn't have enough power strokes to make it through a full revolution, but the virtual model works pretty well. They didn't let me have a lot of fun with the presentation this time :P .
Cornell Rigid Airfoil Team [WingSail]
How to sail... really fast.
Granular Flows in Microgravity Research Project
Measuring the impact coefficients of small spheres:
mu friction
epsilon normal restitution
beta tangential restitution

Eleanor Roosevelt HS
R/C Aircraft
I built my way up to a 4 channel gas aircraft over the years, using a 2 channel glider and a balsa-n-tissue paper rubber band powered Spitfire as stepping stones. I'll scan some pictures of them eventually.
Raytraced Animation
Browse through some of my older Gif89a animations. Many were rendered with POVray. More in the pictures directory. Hope I have some time to play with this stuff again, now that I have some decent hardware.

Looks like John finally nuked it, though... it's a shame...
It's a Research Practicum project! [Quack!]
