- Finally got my picture in the Juniata alumni newsletter. Impressive, considering i didn't attend juniata.

- I have an unhealthy obsession with Sarah Silverman
Pictures of stuff I like (not necessarily what they're labeled)

Program(s) I've written
- Evolution of genotypes in 2,973 bytes
- Combination generating program, written in perl, and the same program, written in c++. I wrote this out of laziness for doing the jumbles in the newspaper. All output is sent to STDOUT so if you're running *nix, you can pipe it to ispell to get the word that's spelled correctly.

Also, no wedding party besides the bridge and groom. The reception went on til 6am. I got really drunk.
ma' homies
- Kristy, a fellow roadtrippin' enthusiast who goes to exciting places like, uh, Tennessee. Is there any truth to Ryan Adams' song "Tennessee Sucks"? Find out by visiting their site! I've been to Tennessee and, I gotta tell ya, it ain't bad. I hear the state motto is: "Tennessee: At least we're not Delaware". Seriously though, Kristy and Beth go some cool places and write up their experiences on it all... and in a more timely fashion than I do!
- Ryan's site. Graduated from Syracuse with an MA in International Relations, and needs a job so he, Matt, and I can go on more trips! Hire him!
- Matt's site. Fellow roadtripper. Not much there.
- Dave Feltenberger's site. The man knows Russian and will keep us from getting ripped off and out of bar fights in Siberia in January '04.
- Mandi's site. More there than Matt's.
- Dan Zak. Last of the Reston Four. Keeps talking 'bout buying an Audi TT. Has yet to do it.
- Keith Necker's (Necka) site. Good friend of mine at Lockheed.
- Dawna's web site, somehow keeping her school account long after graduation.
- Anneke's site. Former fellow Breakaway employee
- Jen's site. I now apparently own her hand after eating some extremely hot chile somewhere in New Mexico. Since Matt didn't have a dollar, he wagered her hand instead. also, New Mexico roommate and the only girl crazy enough to date Matt.
- Chris Thomas, founder of the amish mafia and the only person I know that's cold in Miami.
- Eric "the hitman" Koehler, roommate in Norristown, PA (the non-hood part). Dating a girl that is younger than his dad's cat (girl is 21, cat is 22).
- The best damn swing dancer that I personally know (and one hell of a nice guy), Mark Wallerius (the site appears to be down for reasons unknown)
- Okay, not an actual person (formerly, perhaps), but Boo Berry is the best damn mofo cereal on the planet. Only the coolest cereals turn your milk purple. Do not let General Mills kill Boo Berry! Down with Count Chocula and Frankenberry, those two-bit cereal whores! Buy Boo Berry! The revolution will NOT be televised!!!
