RaviDesai

Contributer to both Nupedia and Wikipedia. I love math and computer science - can you say Geek? I live in the beautiful state of MichigaN, and wouldn't want to live anywhere else - ice, snow and all. I'm a bit of bookworm - I read and write (surprise!) ScienceFiction and FantasY?, as well as AutoBiographies? of interesting individuals. I also love MythologY? (Greek, Hindu, and Icelandic).

In real life I am a programmer - mostly in Java and C++, but I've seen it all (everything from Snobol to LISP to Pascal to Fortran). I have a bachelor's degree in ComputerScience? and a Masters degree in MathematicS? that I got more or less because I thought it would be fun. I got interested in SetTheory and NumberTheory? there and have been blessed to work with some incredibly good people in that field.

I used to work in the Automotive industry, but now I work in the Telecom industry (in MichigaN?!!!?) and develop software that is used by ISPs to provision ATM switches, routers, and various other equipment and man is it a lot of fun!

I am also a ChristiaN?, and belong to the FreeMethodist? church - which is similar to the MethodisT? church, but more EvangelicaL?. If that means nothing to you, don't worry, it means nothing to me either. I tend to think along the lines of CSLewis in MereChristianity? and see our likenesses more than our differences.

Finally, I am a family man (hey, I'm in the midwest, remember?) and have a beautiful wife of 12 years and 3 kids (all boys, all 7yrs and younger). The most I can hope for is that I give them the same hunger for knowledge and love of God that was given to me in my youth.

Hey, Ravi, I noticed you were pulling in some of the genesis chapters. Are you planning on doing this to the whole bible? After all, it's really big, and it might be better to just refer people to an on-line translation. Btw, which translation are you using? -- JoshuaGrosse
