Tomorrowland

---

My father is a historian, so naturally, I've always been obsessed with the future.  He studies ancient civilizations, Greece, Rome, Persia, Egypt.  When I was two, my family spent a year in the Middle East while my father went on archaeological digs. That's me and my dad on the camel.  (I'm the little one.)   I've always been more interested in spaceships than ruins, more passionate about technology than history, more in love with progress than tradition.  I grew up in the Apollo Era, and I wanted to be an astronaut.  My eyesight wasn't nearly good enough, so I decided to do the next best thing...

I build robots for a living.  These are just a few of the robots I've worked with in the last 15 years.  Like my father, I went on to get a Ph.D., but where his dealt with ancient languages, mine was in artificial intelligence.  I develop the software to control these robots and (hopefully) make them behave in a semi-intelligent way. You can find out more about these robots in the Robot Gallery for my robotics home page. But Tomorrowland isn't about technology...

Tomorrowland is about the future. Hopes and dreams, ideas and visions. We're all on a rollercoaster ride into the Twenty-First Century.  We can't predict what will happen next, but that won't keep some of us from trying.  Only one thing is certain -- it's going to be a wild ride. Want to come along?  The monorail boards here...
