<h1>StupidSquare’s Application Window</h1>

<p>During those times you have nothing to do, drag the squares in this window around and watch the scores increase as collisions occur. Fascinating!  High score wins!  Oh, wait - this is too stupid to keep track of high scores.</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!
