Hey everyone, my name is Chris. I'm a software engineer in Maryland by trade but I'm a fan of other sciences as well, mainly physics and the application of physics in the form of mechanical engineering. My hobbies reflect this as it usually includes modifying cars and motorcycles (which, to me, is an exhilarating first hand experience of physics and chemistry in action) as well as sci-fi movies/books/video games. I hope I will be able to contribute to this forum in some way, but (selfishly) I know that I will at least be able to learn from you guys.
