			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Gotta say I never thought I&#8217;d see my name on a real website.  A <a href="http://unews.utah.edu/p/?r=062409-1">press release sent out by the U of U</a> got picked up by several other news outlets including <a href="http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/06/090629081137.htm">Science Daily</a>:</p>

<p>Woo-hoo!</p>
<p>Update: A reporter from <a href="http://www.deseretnews.com/home">Deseret News</a> just interviewed me!  That was a new and somewhat crazy experience.</p>
<p>Update: I&#8217;m going to try and keep track of any links I find here.  Let me know if you see any I&#8217;ve missed!  I realize a lot of these sites are just picking up a press release.  Still, pretty amazing how rapidly the news spreads.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="size-medium wp-image-3 alignleft" style="margin: 0px 5px;" title="So happy, but getting so old..." src="http://blog.spencerkellis.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/20090412_9057-226x300.jpg" alt="So happy, but getting so old..." width="226" height="300" />So, here I am.  Red hair.  A beard?!?  How rebellious.  And (the gall) smiling on my own birthday!</p>
<p>That&#8217;s about the long and the short of it.  I&#8217;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 <a href="http://www.phdcomics.com/comics/archive.php?comicid=47">not afraid to ask</a> how much longer you have left for <em>your</em> PhD.  But don&#8217;t ask the same of me.</p>
<p>I have very few pictures of myself, because I am normally the guy behind the camera taking way too many pictures of you!  See <a href="http://www.spencerkellis.net">here</a> and <a href="http://photography.spencerkellis.net">here</a> for proof.  Yes, I have two websites to display my photography.  Don&#8217;t ask.  Because the honest truth is:  I have several more.  Oh, the shame!</p>
<p>We&#8217;ll see how this whole blog thing works out.  It&#8217;s an effort to step out of the isolation of academic cubicle-farmland and into the warm social gathering we label&#8230; the internet (?).  Or, as I prefer to call it, the (sometimes-mobile) information super-highway.</p>
<p>Good luck out there today.</p>
<p>Students are people too, you know.</p>
