Photographs of the alleged author of this webpage are hereby minimized. In a previous century, when institutional and peer pressures necessitated the creation of a web-page, the author complied, and learned sufficient algorithms of Ye Olde HTML Editor to create a home page with an image of the author in the foreground, with the skyline of Lower Manhattan in the background. A subsequent remark from a student: "Your web page looks like a personal ad on a dating site." Oof. Where's that "delete all" function?
