Well, Howe seems to think I'm sufficently photogenic to include me on their main Alumni web page ( Read more... )

Well, Howe seems to think I'm sufficently photogenic...

You're one of their few proud distinguished alumni. They can point to you as a success. That's something to be proud of - you're objectively considered a success by an educational institution.

Well, perhaps subjectively considered a success by an educational institution. Have you seen the Futurama episode where Leela goes back to her old orphange to get an award for Orphan of the Year? The other past winners have captions that say things like, "Heroin-free For Two Years," and "Still Has All His Own Teeth at 35." That's sort of the way I feel about Howe. I'm a success only by virtue of the fact that so many others have failed so miserably...

No, you're a success because of your own talents and achievements. HOW many degrees do you have? :)

chrastan June 24 2005, 20:29:01 UTC

Just three. jaebrodsky has more than me now. Besides, none of the ones I have (nor the one I'm working on) allow me to call myself "Doctor"...

I like how it looks like you're dropping hats on the crowd of panicked students below.

chrastan June 24 2005, 20:27:56 UTC

Yee-ah, "dropping"... That's a good word for it...

mrvoid June 24 2005, 20:30:08 UTC

Well... this is a family show, mister.

Since when?

The photo seems kind of random, especially with the sizing and the parascope peeking over your shoulder.

I agree with Cel, by the way.

No kidding. At least the website has been updated in the last few months and now looks like it was designed in 1999, not 1995... It's progress as those wacky cornfield-dwelling Hoosiers discover this "In-ter-net" thing...

I'll be a success when I've finished my PhD. Or gotten elected to office. Or have tenure. For now I'm just someone who's managed to avoid real work for a decade. Mind you, some of my classmates have done the same. That sort of work-avoidance, though, comes with very secure lodgings and time off for good behavior...

They're both really great, but maybe a couple of minor changes? For the one on the right, could you have it say something like "Travel for travels' sake" or "Just for the miles" or something like that? For the one on the left, I can't quite make out what it says above "KNOWLEDGE" - does it say "forbidden"? Could I be just a tiny bit darker? The pictures are great.

Thank you so much!
