Anybody that stumbles in here is likely to already know that I have spent two non-consecutive four year terms at Pomona College in Claremont, CA. The first was as a student, and ended in 2001 with the award of a BA in mathematics and no particular honors. The second was as an employee, Unix systems administrator, and hasn't technically ended yet, although I happen to know that it will soon.

What this means is that even though I am only 26, I have been at Pomona for longer than any student, most of the staff, and maybe half of the faculty. When talking to such people, I frequently find that nobody has told them about some of the interesting things that have happened here. I figured I would write about some of these, thereby adding to the list of things that have the property that when they come up in conversation, I can say, "I wrote about that on my web page," and thus avoid boring everybody.
