Jakob Nielsen says I should have an about page, and when Nielsen speaks, I listen (I even have blue, underlined links!) So here we are.

Who is Patrick?

I am a fifth-year senior master’s student at the Georgia Institute of Technology, studying Aerospace Engineering, specializing in Flight Mechanics and Controls and Cognitive Engineering. I am currently the chairman of the Georgia Tech section of AIAA, and serve as webmaster both for that organization as well as the Mars Society at Georgia Tech.

What are his interests?

Photography, auto racing, technology. Also, I have an odd fixation on rabbits, particularly when used for humorous purposes. See the short-lived Carnival of the Bunnies for details.

What does he look like?

This photo from January 2008 may help. He’s the one on the ground who’s not a girl (the girl would be his lovely sister).

Why does this website even exist?

Well, these days, it’s primarily a vehicle to share my photos. It’s also the guinea pig version of singapore that gets all the changes I make and submit for inclusion in future versions of the gallery. I also do share some random thoughts here, though I do so less frequently than most of the blogging type. Finally, it’s a place I can do web design, something that I enjoy working on—though I spend most of my time staring bewildered at the amazing talents of others.
