Hi, this is Feross. I'm a computer science student at Stanford University (class of 2012). I'm interested in almost every aspect of CS, especially Internet technology, web development, and search engines. I like running long distances, basketball, video games (especially retro games), and shiny gadgets.

Andrei, the image next to your name is automatically generated based on your email address. Yours looks kinda funny!
The system works using a computer science technique called “hashing” to generate a unique number from your email address. In this case, your hash number is “ea01c8b7bff3a362d70a609c31649da1″. Then it looks at different parts of this number, which correspond to different facial elements. In this way, it can generate a unique face for everyone that visits the site.
If you don’t like your image, you can change it at http://gravatar.com and it will change it on every site that uses the Gravatar system – I think some big news sites use it too.

Thank you Asfand! Very nice of you.
If I ever shake Obama’s hand — which I don’t think will happen anytime soon — I’ll be sure to let you know.
Thanks again!
