When I was a kid, one of my favorite toys was a little tin pop-pop boat . It still is!. You lit a candle, the tiny boiler clicked and pulsed, and this cheap toy scooted across a bowl of water like magic. Decades later, I caught myself wondering: What if you scaled that engine up to a size you could steer?  Of course, the answer is you can’t just “scale it up” and expect the same behavior—geometry, heat transfer, and fluid dynamics all gang up on you. The toy works because it

As of today, I have quietly moved 478,808 virtual Compounds through a quantum-enhanced drug discovery machine in my back office in Oklahoma. Today I hit a nice milestone on the Citizen Scientist  page of QuantumCURE Pro™  and the numbers made me smile, so I’m sharing them. The Raw Numbers Compounds processed (Citizen Scientist):  478,808 Compounds that made it into the Golden List:  30 Hit rate: What does that mean? In industry, typical virtual screening or HTS hit rates ar

QuantumCURE Pro ™ screen shots - Round two of QuantumCURE pro™ software validation is officially in the books. Some people pick up fishing or golf in retirement. I enjoy those too, but for the last few years I’ve been teaching myself quantum computing, cheminformatics, and how to build full cancer drug discovery portals. Why? People ask me that a lot. My answer is simple: why not? I want to be useful, and I still have work to do. I sit in a cold Oklahoma garage, lift heavy

I saw an MIT study tonight about AI and job losses, and that is alarming. So,  AI can already replace % 11. 7% of US jobs....and workforce, but what the MIT “11.7%” really is: So, MIT + Oak Ridge built a model called the Iceberg Index  that looks at: 151M U.S. workers 900+ occupations 32,000+ skills They asked: “With AI that exists today , what fraction of current work tasks could AI technically do?” Their answer: AI is already capable of doing tasks equal to 11.7% of tot

So, I have created a nifty molecular docking engine that can stand shoulder-to-shoulder with big-pharma platforms that cost $100K per year per license. Ok, I admit I don’t have the pedigree of a 20-year vendor track record, and I’m not a biologist, but I am  very good at building complex systems and making them actually run in the real world. For the past 30 years, I’ve shipped and operated mission-critical software for video, networking, and now quantum-enhanced simulation.
