The Drunkard

Me

I am David Patterson and I am a Computer Scientist.

Not the well known Computer Science David Patterson, though I heard many jokes during during my undergraduate and graduate school days to the contrary.

I work in Va.

I have a beautiful wife, Donna, who puts up with entirely too much of my crap.

We have three cats; William, Second, and Sasha.

I like to:

  • practice  Jow Ga Kung Fu
  • brew beer and mead
  • run
  • program
    • Ruby
    • Python
    • Java
    • Clojure
    • Common Lisp
  • mess with my garden
  • build robots
  • play Pathfinder
  • read

I study:

  • programming language design
  • nature inspired algorithms
  • various AI and machine learning techniques
  • particularly genetic programming

And the name for this website comes from one of the more creative names for random walks in mathematics.

    Genetic programming and robot building? I only have one question – Are you a Dr. Wiley, or Dr. Light?
