About Me
- Phillip Alvelda
- After collecting several technical degrees at Cornell and MIT and a stint building spacecraft sensors and new computer architectures at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, I am now a serial entrepreneur. MicroDisplay was the first company I started, spun out of my grad school dissertation on Integrated Optoelectronic Computers while at MIT's AI lab. MobiTV is looking to be a little more of a break-out after we invented the technology, built the infrastructure, and licensed the content to deliver live television over wireless networks to mobile phones, PDAs, and now Computers. Besides that, I am the founding Chairman of the Westminster Institute for Science Education [WISE] You can check out a more serious bio here.

You only got a 99? Where is your pride, boy? You'd better take that test again until you get a perfect score, plus extra credit. (Imagine sharing your shame with the whole world like this and dragging my name and that of my children along with you!)
The honest truth is that there were only a few questions where I fell short. (B.T.W. It is a high-nerd quality to know how you did on a test before you even get the grade back.)
1.) Do/did you take notes in more than one color? (I just never take notes, as I discovered I seldom ever needed to refer to them.)
2.)What is the grossest thing in your room, right now?
a Nothing, it is clean
b Some dirty clothes
c Some old food
d Insect or rodents
e Dead insects and rodents
and
3.)Should you have biohazard or warning signs posted in your room?
You will probably note that left to my own devices, I might actually have dead insects or rodents on my floor, and an appropriate bio-hazard warning in my office as a result. (very typical nerd afflictions through extreme focus on more interesting problems)
But fortunately, I married this wonderful woman who has elevated my sense of personal cleanliness above the more typical extreme nerd level.
So I proudly bear my 99th percentile score as a sign that I have matured socially thanks to her sterling influence. But other than those minor hygenic issues, I scored 100%.
