I have to admit the technical

I have to admit the technical jargon is a bit over my head, but I'll definitely talk to my friends about signing up.

I noticed the team for UWM, but that's UW-Milwaukee (which is where this project is based). I go to UW-Madison (usually just called University of Wisconsin or UW). I know, it's confusing. :) I thought about joining Milwaukee's team, but I want to make sure Madison doesn't have a team, first. Also, if UW-Madison really doesn't have a team yet I'd love to start one. I just need to find a few other people who go here, so please let me know if you do. :)

Mad people

For what it's worth, the main scientist behind the core of the data analysis code that we are running under Einstein@Home is a woman, Marialessandra Papa. [Full disclosure: Marialessandra is also my wife.]

Marialessandra is the captain of the current 'top team' (Einstein@Work) although she has been neglecting the team recently to help sort out some of the problems and issues that have come up.

I'll ask David Hammer if he's willing to change the name of the Einstein@UWM team to Einstein@UW. So stand by, please.

Cheers,
Bruce

Director, Einstein@Home

That would be kind of

That would be kind of convenient to have one team for all the UW schools. Especially for students and faculty at the branches that are much smaller than Milwaukee or Madison. (Imagine trying to get a team together for UW-River Falls) :)

So when a frog swallows a fly

So when a frog swallows a fly over and over for a million years just what will it "evolve" into?

I met Frank Zappa about 25yrs ago and he asked me to say that if the subject ever came up

Good grief. Zappa, were he still alive, would now be 65. Why on earth would someone who grew up listening to him suddenly lose their passion?!

Grrrr. Young whippersnappers.

Cheers ;)

Well, let's just say, if my parents heard me listening to zappa, they would think I am crazy. They claim to have listened to underground music in their days, but I can guarantee the words Zappa would leave them clueless.

Grr... old people who hate music!
