Brendan Connell - Personal Info


BORING ALERT: this page is all about me. If it puts you to sleep, don't say I didn't warn you.

Vital Statistics

At Montgomery Blair High Schol, my Chemistry teacher--Mr. Pham--taught our freshman chemistry class an important lesson. When doing Science, you see, it is imperative that all numerical quantities be specified with so-called "significant figures". So, here you have it--SCIENTIFIC information about Brendan Connell, complete with "sig figs":

Other Information

Hmmm... I'm currently a junior at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA. One of Harvard's best features, IMHO, is its amazing breadth of academic offerings. My primary field of study is computer science, but I've also had the privilege of taking courses in subjects ranging from legal philosophy to Greek literature to Galois theory.

Back in the dark ages, before reaching the oasis that is college, I was locked up, er, enrolled, in a certain Math, Science, and Computer Science Magnet Program at Montgomery Blair High School in Silver Spring, Maryland, USA. This was, on the whole, a positive experience, although Blair probably isn't the most relaxing place to spend one's high school years. To make life a bit more enjoyable, I started an Ultimate frisbee team, which, to my delight, still exists today!

According to the Keirsey Temperment Sorter, I am an ENTP. I somewhat doubt that everyone belongs to exactly one of sixteen discrete personality types; but in my particular case, Keirsey's description does seem uncannily accurate. (A skeptic might accuse me of subjective validation, so perhaps I should instead say that I belong to the alleged small minority of Americans that self-identify with Keirsey's ENTP profile more than with any of Keirsey's other 15 profiles. :)

I like "hangin' out" with friends, having long conversations, reading, listening to music (rock and classical), and, of course, chasing women (heheheh ;). When outdoors, I enjoy playing Ultimate Frisbee, skiing, sailing, scuba diving, and hiking and camping (particularly with friends).
