MIT -- graduating doesn't mean escaping

• I graduated from MIT in the spring of 1994 with a BS in Physics with Electrical Engineering (course 8A).
• The original MIT web server, which was one of the first servers running this newfangled http protocol, was set up by the MIT Student Information Processing Board, and for many years, SIPB's www.mit.edu server was far superior to the official site at web.mit.edu. In 2004, SIPB relinquished www.mit.edu to the administration and shifted their server to stuff.mit.edu.
• The MIT Alumni Association now has network services for alumni, including e-mail forwarding for life. Yay...
• I wrote my thesis at the MIT Center for Space Research.
• I lived in Random Hall for four years - one year on DomFore and three on Clam Floor. (If you aren't a Random, you probably don't care, but I don't care that you don't care. So there.)

• To Err is Human...
  To Forgive is not our Policy.

  I was extremely active in the MIT Assassins' Guild. I played in practically every full-length game since the fall of 1990 and most of the short games, and have written and run two full length games (Asylum, summer 1991 and Nanopunk: Jersey, IAP 2000) and a one-nighter (Jailbreak, spring 1993). Eventually, all good things come to an end...
• I was a keyholder in the MIT Science Fiction Society for many years, before travel time to campus made holding regular hours infeasible. We have the largest public open-stack collection of science fiction in the world, and our index by author, called the MITSFS Pinkdex, is on-line. The library is usually open during keyholders' scheduled hours.
• I'm an alumnus of the AX chapter of Alpha Phi Omega, a coed national service fraternity. We have projects where we build, paint, and destroy, and it's all for charity. What more could you want out of a group?
• I used to be an officer in the MIT Society of Physics Students. After graduation, I maintained our Athena locker and mailing lists and archived What's New, a somewhat light-hearted electronic newsletter that the American Physical Society published weekly. Then my MIT account was deactivated in the Great Alumni Account Purge. Sigh.
• I played Varsity Water Polo during my four years at MIT. Despite the fact that MIT is a NCAA division III school, most of our schedule was against division I and II schools.
• The MIT IHTFP Hack Gallery
• Maps and floorplans of MIT used to be online.
