My name is Michael David Daub. For brevity, call me Mike Daub.
Welcome to my personal website, where I share information about myself, my work, and my interests. I prefer to post it here rather than on any social media platform. Cheers!
I am an experienced physics and mathematics educator
who taught courses at educational institutions
in California, New York, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania.
An analogy: Universities are to learning as brothels are to love.
I earned a master's degree in
Physics at
UC Berkeley
and two bachelor's degrees in
Mathematics and
Physics at
Penn State,
but I never completed my doctorate.
A college dropout with three degrees?
I researched in the field of experimental cosmology on the
ACBAR project
and worked five summer seasons at
Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station in
Antarctica,
while attending graduate school.
Fully clothed … usually.
I grew up in
Erie,
Pennsylvania, and attended
Iroquois High School.
When you visit Erie, try the deep-fried pepperoni balls.
I am a member of the Libertarian Party
and the Libertarian Party of Pennsylvania.
Less government. More freedom.
I am an ordained minister in the
Church of the Latter-Day Dude.
Just take it easy, mankind.
I enjoy playing poker, especially Seven Card Stud and HORSE.
Television ruined poker.
I have a Duolingo Spanish score of 123.
Pero no practico lo suficiente con hispanohablantes.
I take my coffee black.
Get over it.
I am a simple man.
I want a simple website.
As such, I created and maintain this website with
my favorite text editor
using
HTML and
CSS.
You may find a smidgen of JavaScript or MathML or SVG here and there.
But there are:
No web frameworks.
No content management systems.
No server-side programming languages.
No tracking.
No cookies. 🍪
No nonsense.
Just simple, clean, static, open web pages,
hosted on a web server
located in the good old United States of America.
♫ From sea to shining sea. ♫
