July 07, 2008 Another one from the Frank Archives. This was from a talk on October 31, 1996. This Cornell CS professor gave a seminar talk on the work his group was doing and some of the research challenges. Normally, I embellish things a little, but this time I didn't have to do much. He was dressed for Halloween. The costume in the picture is the one he wore. I simply added the necronomicon and the frog. I think it's a pretty decent likeness. |

I tend to doodle. Over the years, I've accumulated lots of random
sketches of things, sometimes people, sometimes things, and sometimes
just abstract lines. The basic idea on these pages is for me to slowly
scan in highlights from my collection of random quick doodles. I also
am providing a place where I can explain what it is or what motivated
it or perhaps some reason why I'm not to blame. With the sketches of
people, their name may be hand-written, or there might be a talk title
provided, but I will tend to avoid providing full names. I don't mind
if people know who they are, I just don't want them coming up on search
engine hits, since that might be a bit rude.
Note that the images are PNGs with transparency. Mozilla and Firefox
properly render them. Safari too, I think. Internet Exporer doesn't.
I don't care.
If you want to see the image without the annoying blue-lined background
image, just click on the image.
