About Us



	This is a short guide to the crew members of the project who have contributed clever ideas, moral support, mad schemes, fascinating discussion topics, and really funny jokes which cannot be reproduced in the Geocities domain.
	David Cowlishaw \| Sam Smith \| James Hurl \| Amanda Gilbert \| Rico Ratcliffe \| James Kelley \| Britt Beaubian \|
	\| David Cowlishaw \| The head honcho, inventor extraordinaire, and guiding spirit behind this project lives in the fine state of Oregon. He maintains the two main web sites for this project, one in the open.org domain and one at Fortune City. He also volunteers his time towards moderating an email forum dedicated to airing thoughts and developments in GIT theory and application. He LOVES to hear from you, so email him!			\| Sam Smith \| Sam is our "fearless leader" in practical matters, namely, the introduction of this technology through business ventures. He is a seasoned GIT builder himself; his projects, "billiard ball billy" and "bowling ball bertha" are too terrifyingly successful to be viewed by ordinary humans. Immortals, feel free to apply to Sam's good will in order to get a peek at these gyration-happy creatures.

	\| James Hurl \| James is a student at Swinburne in Australia, honing his considerable artistics talents in the area of computer graphics. He has the honor of being the first builder to confirm David's theories on the GIT. His movies and photos showed quite clearly the great determination with which his legless wheelless mini-GIT hauled a** across a tabletop. Three cheers for James for inspiring the rest of us to keep building, thinking, testing...			\| Amanda Gilbert \| I'm the webmaster at this site, and as such I would feel ridiculous about detailing my numerous and brilliant accomplishments. Heh, heh, I'm kidding. I'm currently a student at Stanford in California, working on economics and engineering degrees. I was the first one to email David with a gearing innovation that many other folks thought of independently. I'm interested in business, software, and of course, space sciences.

	\| Rico Ratcliffe \| Rico is an avid investigator of new technologies... especially ones that deal with advanced or new physics concepts (such as the GIT) and the high energy branch of physics. Rico is in the process of compiling the first comprehensive document/book about the GIT project. It's a big job, so help him out!! He would welcome any information or ideas from you at his email rico@computerkid.co.uk.			\| James Kelley \| Jim is a bad sheep. He's in Ohio right now, most likely in the library of OSU sending eloquent letters to the editors of various world publications in the hopes of convincing them to run big stories on this technology. He has a keen way of explaining things to laypersons, so if you feel really shaky on the concepts, Jim would probably try his best to explain the basics. I will be (or have already begun) paraphrasing some of his words in this site.

	\| Britt Beaubian \| His prolific GIT-building brings to mind da Vinci and Handel, but his tender age reveals him instead as the Michelangelo of this group. Britt has built and tested numerous GITs, and the contribution of movies and pictures of his works-in-progress is immeasurably valuable. Someday reporters will ask him in awe, "How, Dr. Beaubian, how did you do it?" Well, you have the chance to do that right now. Why not take advantage of that chance?
