We found you Roy. You can’t hide.
Apparently Roy works at a school for gymnasts. Or merely subsidized by people with a ton of cash.
Good luck reading that Extended Vita. $5 to anyone not named Roy who understands a damn thing that it says.
Note the presence of Karen from fantasy football on the publications. I am sure the mere mention on this website will inspire her team to destroy Roy’s this weekend. Latent variables win championships.
Oddly enough, no mentions of pirates on his site.
Nice photo Roy. I can only presume that the photographer was making pirate noises and holding a bottle of rum. If you ask me, Bayesian sounds like a breed of dogs. Isn't item response theory a complicated way of describing the Coke vs. Pepsi question?
I other news, if you type in "Paige Burton" and Arizona, this is the #6 result.
Roy wins major points for posing for an official college directory photo in an unbuttoned polo and a Buffett-approved necklace.
By the way, John, we can play your dirty game too. Google "John Albers" with Maryland, and the first relevant hit is this, which serves well to remind you that you never win anything.
Google me, and all you get is that shitty poet from Philly.
Posted by: Chris at November 15, 2006 01:18 PMWhat about fantasy football? I win that sometimes. Oh, and that trip to Vegas. But yeah, 10k would've been nice.
Posted by: John at November 15, 2006 03:51 PMA Vita, huh? You too good for resumes now, Doctor? :) But I also have to give you points for wearing normal clothes in your picture. Do people even wear suits in Arizona anyway?
And if I had to fill 8 pages of accomplishments, I would have to include "doesn't get ice-cream headaches" and "couldn't turn my head left for a week due to a staircase mishap".
Like you guys, I'm all over "the google". Put in my name and you see nothing but Teen Idol awesomeness all over.
Posted by: Rick at November 15, 2006 04:06 PMWell I thought I could hide. I suppose not. Thanks Daddy, for putting this up and for people getting in their jabs. Some quick notes:
- That's how I dress every day. Jeans, pants, shorts, flip flops, whatever goes. My Division Director owns one white button down shirt. One. Total.
- The photo was taken 30 seconds after the university photographer mistook me an undergraduate. Remind me some time to recant the stories of people mistaking me for a student here. Hi comedy!
- Bayesian is not a breed of dog. It's a breed of probabilistic inference. See http://www.bayesian.org/ for a quick intro.
- I should have another website up in the coming weeks through the university that I can control for work purposes. So googling me will eventually turn that up too. It will be somewhat formulaic, but have more about my work than this generic page. Speaking of which...
- If you ever want to cure insomnia, let me know and I'll send you some papers I've written.
- If you ever are in a conversation with someone and you want to get out of it, just tell them you're a statistician or a psychometrician. Nothing, and I mean nothing, will kill a conversation faster.
