Albert Holtsclaw

When you were 10, what did you want to be when you grew up? How about now?
"When I was 10, I probably wanted to be a professional video game player. But, I've always had a passion for computers and technology in general. Now, I want to be more things than I have time to do: chef, teacher, programmer, traveler, politician, professional video game player (some dreams never die). "

What is your favorite food? If your favorite food is not common to this locale, please describe it.
"My favorite local food is a probably the spicy pepper chicken at Yamatos. But just about anything from Amigos is a close second."

What is the best book you have read lately?
"A Game of Thrones from the Song of Ice and Fire series by George R. R. Martin."

What is your life philosophy?
"I think Conan O'Brien said it best: 'Work Hard, Be Kind and Amazing Things Will Happen.'"

What is the best course on campus? Why do you think so?
"The best non-CS course that I had in undergrad was Golf. It was a cheap and easy way to get 6 months at the Greenbriar driving range. "

Do you participate in any sports?
"only if hiking, swimming and high-adventure activities (rock-climbing, repelling, tree-climbing) count..."

Best movie you have seen lately:
"How to Train Your Dragon... really good!"

The best way to spend a free afternoon in the Tri-Cities area is:
"Depends on the season: If it's cold, just chilling somewhere in town with some good friends. If it's warm, anywhere on a hiking trail or the lake."

If you had to choose right now where you would spend the rest of your life, where would it be and what would you do there?
"I don't want to own a house (at least for the next ~15 years). I want to travel all over the world, backpack in Europe for months at a time and do video (documentary) stuff while doing it. If I could choose, this is what I would be doing right now."

What is your greatest hidden talent?
"Now that is a good question... If it's supposed to be hidden, why would I tell you? :)"
