<h1>StupidSquares</h1>

<p>StupidSquares is the result of painstaking research and development by Otto von Dorkus, renowned neurosurgeon and philanthropist. In his words, “My proudest accomplishment, StupidSquares is the secret to effervescent mud pies!” Nobody is quite certain what he means, but, being the end product of his unquestionably unknowable intelligence, it must be something profound.</p>

I am the author of Laughing at the Devil: One Man’s Religious Discoveries. If you want to understand the astronomic investigations of our priests 3,000 years ago, LATD is the book to turn to. It opens up the thoughts that pushed them away from their earlier polytheism and towards our current definition of God.

Trained as a mechanical engineer, I have been involved with design, supervision, and project management. I taught myself C++ programming in order to play around with binaural beats more easily. I've also created various databases to help with project management and personal tasks.

Databases are cool and extremely useful! Happy coding, everybody!
