CS nerd extraordinaire. "If I have not seen as far as others, it is because giants were standing on my shoulders." -- Hal Abelson, MIT professor, important computer science author and 78 RPM record collector.

  • Is it geek + funny music day? I think the label on this is taking the mickey "You've made a chicken of your mother (But you can't make a goose of me)" Sung by Nora Bayes. Thanks Richer, bookmarked for future browsing/downloading... mash coming up.
  • Must be. My favorite title: Aggravatin' Papa (Don't You Try to Two-Time Me).
  • And I must add that one of the most distracting thing ever is that Abelson wears socks + flip-flops in the 1986 video lectures (4th link).
  • That last link is my favorite. Thanks, Richer, they're all gems. Wot a delightful fellow!
  • Damn, at first I though we were talking about Counter-Strike! I guess that makes me a real nerd...
