>           + A cartoon about squirrels with the Regenstein Library
>             in the background
>           + Another cartoon with the entrance of the Regenstein
>             Library. This is the old entrance before the lobby
>             was rebuilt.
>           + The Paul Serano cartoon
>           + The Manhattan Project Christmas cartoon
>           + Me drawing at the Sony Vaio drawing tablet computer,
>             and here's what the screen looks like.
>           + My "corner office near the A-level stacks" in the
>             Reg. I do have a day job.
>           + The first comic on the Internet: Hans Bjordahl's
>             "Where the Buffalo Roam"
>           + The first home of Doctor Fun: Keith Waclena's
>             computer "neuromancer". (Sorry, this is the best
>             picture I have.)
>           + The Bill Gates cake. This was actually the "screen"
>             for a cake that was shaped like a computer monitor. I
>             heard he didn't eat any of the cake but he kept the
>             screen. (There's more to this than meets the eye;
>             this was drawn when Microsoft Windows was still
>             Windows 3.x. "Chicago" was the code name for Windows
>             95; the screen is Microsoft's within-Word web browser
>             plug-in; the Doctor Fun pose is a reference to an
>             Easter egg that was hidden in Windows 3.x.)
>           + The book Amy mentioned that I was reading was "The
>             Earth Dwellers: Adventures in the Land of Ants", by
>             Erich Hoyt.
