Here a few bits of information about me for now. I am so caught up with science and Poqets and HTML and writing that I don't get or have much time for this stuff. Anyway.
My Usenet username is Xatapu, as well as my blog avatar. You may know me from my nagging palmtop and laptop questions on comp.sys.laptops and comp.sys.palmtops. I am also a high school student in the United States. I love to write, study history (especially American - well, really all of it), run and play soccer, and, in addition, solve algebraic equations. Even quadratics. I now use them often with basic materials science experiments, such as one involving a large "Brookfield viscometer" (for viscometer information, try this page). I also program in assembler and C. Sooner or later I will start using programming for science and experiments. Currently I am occupied with the Poqet PC series of small XT-compatibles in a case the size of a small hardcover book. However, writing is another one of my hobbies. Since I began writing when I was only a elementary schooler, I always was a relatively good writer. I always tend to overelaborate, though, so my writing is very long.
As for politics, I am very moderate, or what you might call a "conservative liberal." I do not like either left-wing or right-wing radical jabber. Extremes of any wing all are the same, at least to me. I do not like the policies of some very conservative politicians, but I do not prefer extremely loose or liberal views either. I like a balance.*
