Your drunken kisses as light as the air
Maybe everything that falls down eventually rises
Our house sinking into disrepair
Ah but look at this showroom filled with fabulous prizes

FILE UNDER AWESOME

The Rasterbator is arguably the Best Thing On The Internet, maybe ever. I don't know.

There are a number of comics that I enjoy much more than that the comics of other media:

No list of things that are awesome would be complete without mention of the kids over there at Smurf Labs. Eccentric, lazy, and perennially drunk, it's hard to figure out what exactly it is that Smurf Labs does. Some sort of science one has to assume—one that involves a lot of drinking.

There is really very little of value conveyed by the generic "this is my name, these are my research interests, I work for such and such group, etc" graduate student web page(*), and we aim to keep it that way. Why? Because people expect terse, rarely-updated, and generally [meaningful] content-free pages when they look up a graduate student's personal web page, and we are in the business of exceeding expectations.

Useless information: I moved up here from Portland, where I spent three years designing and writing software for warehousing and fulfillment businesses, and playing a lot of pinball. I am a terribly enthusiastic pinball player, and a terribly bad one. This left a lot of time to contemplate where I'd move next, and seeing as how I'd spent most of my life in a temperate climate, I figured the best thing I could do is to move some place where I would be consumed with misery for a good third of the year. I also made some websites for some people (no they are not all ugly like this one)

More in a similar vein to follow.

(*) My name is Nathan Rosenblum, I'm interested in a little of this and some more of that, and I'm working with the Paradyn/Dyninst group on problems related to stripped binary analysis.
