Here I am at the Cabin of the University of Toronto Outdoors Club (UTOC) near Collingwood, Ontario, Canada. It is about January or February 1996, and you can see snow outside the windows. I'm reading Robert A. Heinlein's Time Enough for Love, although I'm usually out cross-country skiing while at the Cabin in winter.
Another UTOC outing. This is to ``Petroglyph Provincial Park'' in Ontario, where there are North American Indian carvings on some rocks that date back several hundred years. However, there is also a very nice hiking trail in the park. This was taken on our lunch break (the hike is a total of about 4 hours). Apparently the photographer thought I was looking quite idyllic. (If you can't find me, perhaps you should practice some more with those ``Where's Waldo??'' puzzles.)
Also on the Petroglyphs hike, here is me, one of my closer friends (who also happens to be the photographer of the previous picture), and a flying saucer that abducted us about 30 seconds later. Or it might be somebody's thumb; I don't remember. (That's the problem with UFO abductions.)
Here I am on the Pacific Ocean just west of Stanford Univeristy.
Here are two mountains just north of Port au Basques, Newfoundland, along the Trans-Canada Highway. If you have a perverted enough imagination (that is, if you think like me), then you'll know why I took this picture. (Hint: I dubbed them ``The Boobs of Newfoundland''. I'm surprised there's not actually a sign to that effect.) You'll notice that the highway goes right through the cleavage... my favourite part.
Finally, my (even) lighter side. Here I am doing an Elvis impersonation, singing his Blue Christmas at the Department of Computer Science Christmas party, 1996. The guy to the lower left is Rich Paige, playing the guitar.
... and here's me on Hallowe'en in 1996. Yes, I wore this costume all
day, including giving the CSC209 lecture that day. My students then
had absolutely no doubt in their minds that their instructor was
insane.
Some pictures of my annual haircut.
