So, here I am.  Red hair.  A beard?!?  How rebellious.  And (the gall) smiling on my own birthday!

That’s about the long and the short of it.  I’m a quietly rebellious kind of a guy.  I dare to smile on holidays and other special occasions.  I am a PhD student, and I am not afraid to ask how much longer you have left for your PhD.  But don’t ask the same of me.

I have very few pictures of myself, because I am normally the guy behind the camera taking way too many pictures of you!  See here and here for proof.  Yes, I have two websites to display my photography.  Don’t ask.  Because the honest truth is:  I have several more.  Oh, the shame!

We’ll see how this whole blog thing works out.  It’s an effort to step out of the isolation of academic cubicle-farmland and into the warm social gathering we label… the internet (?).  Or, as I prefer to call it, the (sometimes-mobile) information super-highway.

Good luck out there today.

Students are people too, you know.
