The Diary of a Self-Proclaimed Genius

As creator of the famed EggXpert Prize Box, some consider me rather intelligent. I consider myself a genius.

Introduction

For those of you who don't know me, my name is Dave, and my claim to fame on the EggXpert forums is the EggXpert Prize Box.  Many of the "players" there have noted that I am most likely of greater than average intelligence.  I feel it is my duty to support those notions in every way possible.

I'm currently 22 years old, and I'll be attending my last (for the time being) year at Purdue University starting in August.  Pending a lack of catastrophy, I'll graduate with my bachelor's of science in electrical engineering - that's BSEE for all you acronymial types.

This is the second summer in a row that I've been employed at Crane naval base as a - you guessed it - electrical engineer.  This summer I am in fact a full-time employee in training status (as opposed to last summer where I was simply a lowly temporary intern), which means that, following my graduation and the filling-out of certain over-complicated forms, I'll be a regular full-time hire.  The beauty of this plan is that I get to avoid the standard hiring process, and the biggest change after the transition will, in essence, be the doubling of what they're currently paying me.

As it is summer, and school's currently not in session (except for those weird summer-class-takers...  weird...), I'm living with my father in a small town in southern Indiana.  My days are occupied with work (see previous paragraph), and in the evenings I'm generally either working out, at church, hanging out with friends, or eating.  A good portion of my weekends I spend unconscious, and when I am awake, I'm usually doing as little physical and mental activity as possible.

Besides flaunting my intelligence, I enjoy playing computer games (might I direct you to my favorite HL2 mod?), listening to music, playing paintball (though that happens all-too-rarely lately), and, of course, hanging out with my not-so-genius, though infinitely crafty friends.

Well, there you have it, not that you ever really wanted it.  I'll hopefully continue to fill this slice of e-heaven with more insightful posts, and you'll hopefully continue to read them.  In the mean time, head over to the EggXpert Prize Box and see if you can't win yourself something nice.

Cool, nice blog introducing yourself! :D

Defiantly above average IQ, it takes a lot to think up such complicated problems, much like it takes a lot to finish a rubiks cube in only a few minutes...Or, if your like me, (a full 9 sided one at that) in 10 minutes without any practice when your 8 years old and still have some creativity... :P

Respectfully,
