<p>lol, I am not trying to vilify you or anything of though sort, just the phrase "Mr. Posterboy for The Governator" was pretty awkward given the discussion and the unrelated nature of our governor to geographic location. It would be like me calling you a Tentacle-fetish perv just because you have Tokyo in your handle and you are from Illinois, (ie not Japan) and above that I would be calling you that in a discussion about baked pies and how delicious they are. </p>
<p>Also, doesnt U of Washington have relatively good CS program? If so that would be a good safety imho. I could be wrong on that though. The other easy one that comes to mind is Purdue.</p>
