Your Life

[Zack]

What sorts of things do you want to accomplish before you die, if anything?

Me:

• Write a few books
• Become world renowned in something
• Have a happy family of my own
• Figure out how to live forever...

-College (Environmental Sciences, Wildlife Management)
-Travel the world, volunteering for wildlife projects (this gets to happen in 3 years!)
-Help develop new ways for humans to live more at peace with animals. (put my college skills to work!)
Eh Yea! xD I dunno, i could spend the rest of my life in a hut in the middle of Africa and be good. I <3 teh animals!!

Nice! I'm going to college for Environmental Science also, starting next year.

- Figure out the meaning of life, philosophically at least (if you are interested, I'd recommend reading up on De Cartes)
- Get my school to finally submit my patent to the international patent office -.-
- Get a job with Intel
- When I inevitably come into a large sum of money (yeah right...), I'd love to build a VERY top of the line computer.

The general agreement among my friends is that if any of us happens to become a multi-millionaire, that person would buy a private island somewhere in the pacific for all of us to live on, haha.

You allowed to talk about your patent?

[surfer247]

Haha, that sounds excellent!

I am, we've been sticking the "Patent pending" stuff on what we write, so it's already claimed. What we're patenting is the ability to chemically dope graphite/graphene which can be taken advantage of by the solid state community, especially if one wants to make a so-called "green-device", which everyone is trying to do these days. It's unlikely that it will take off, but there is a small chance, and the school may give us an up-front bonus, which I am also excited about.

Upfront bonus, nice. One of my professors worked for IBM and she said that they would be working on a piece of a chip and Japanese companies in the same business would patent all the surrounding chip so that IBM would be locked out unless they made some sort of agreement.

Gah, the business politics gets me every time. It would be so nice if people would just work together civilly
