I had a surreal moment yesterday when, in the hallway right outside my office, I heard a vaguely familiar but incongruous voice in conversation. I looked up to see a profile that tugged at my memory, and suddenly the light bulb went on. I ventured into the hall and sure enough, standing there was Dave Sklar, who taught my CS 11 class at Brown back in the fall of 1986. Standing next to him was graphics guru Andy Van Dam, my professor for CS 123 a couple of years later. I'm not entirely sure why they were here-- and if I was, I probably couldn't talk about it anyway-- but the serendipity of having them stop right in front of my office was wild.

Posted by: Dug Steen on August 24, 2005 04:53 PMYep, had a nice chat with Dave today about what he's up to, both here and elsewhere. If you're interested in taking a cruise, check out his wife's business at http://www.portcompass.com, especially for a Patagonia cruise around Cape Horn, for which he says his prices are the cheapest available.
