>> So you developed a Jordan Algebra on Base 2, eh! Jordan and Von Neuman couldn't make it work as a better explaination for quantum mechanics. Were you trying to create a base 2 polynomial function that could work on computer clusters?

I completed my last MSc 11 years ago but I am still attending 1-2 graduate classes a year. Learning is something I cherish and it probably explains why I like to switch jobs every few years...

Ah, a kindred spirit!..... a professional student! I could have remained at college for the rest of my life if I didn't have a wife and two kids to support. Teaching doesn't pay well enough.
BTW, if you want total and absolute joy then get your private pilots license. Piloting an aircraft is the most enjoyable activity I've ever done. Sorry, but that includes sex too. Flying episodes lasts a lot longer. :)
