PotstickerGuru - A nickname for me, James C. Liu, Ph.D. I am also sometimes referred to as Gyozadude. I wear a number of hats:   I currently work as a Software Engineer in the Solaris group at Sun Microsystems, Inc. I have a public blog here. I'm also fairly active in the Open_solaris community supporting open source uses and driver development. I also like to build and test low-power PCs that save electricity.

I'm active in California Pier and Shore Fishing groups and the California Marine Life Protection Act (MLPA) implementation and serve as the Secretary/Treasurer for the United Pier & Shore Anglers of California (UPSAC). Some of our projects have been the installation of 40 line recycling bins throughout the state, teaching Ethical Fishing classes to the Scouts, Hosting rod building seminars and donating custom surf and saltwater rods to benefit charity, helping host the Annual PierFishing Get Togethers at Catalina and Mud Marlin Derby at Berkeley Pier. We've also helpd UC Santa Barbara collect Lobster catch survey data, and serve on both the Regional Stakeholders Group and Statewide Interest Group for the MLPA.

 Yes, I do know how to make Potstickers, I make them fairly often, and I roll my own skins. I've posted an illustrated recipe here.

I'm also quite involved in my Kid's school - Nimitz_Elementary_School in Sunnyvale, CA and serve on the School Site Council, the PTA, and run the NimitzPTA.ORG website.

In a previous life, I also built trading and risk management systems for various Banks and Securities companies with seats on the Tokyo Stock Exchange.

Early in life, when I really had some brain cells, I used to work on the field of Nuclear Engineering and was the primary author of the Transient Shockwave Upwind Numerical Analysis Method for ICF (TSUNAMI). This computer code simulates the subsequent shockwave propagation in Gas-Continuous Two-Phase material as would occur after a thermo-nuclear explosion occurs inside a laser- or heavy-ion fusion reactor. This was developed as part of Lawrence Livermore Nat'l Lab's HYLIFE/HYLIFE-II Fusion reaction design to compute potential wall stress on the target chamber.
