Diane Hall

Of all the people who have recently joined the webmaster team, no one has joined it more recently than our most recent addition: Diane.

Diane is the fifth vegetarian on the team ( joining Kasthuri, Johanna, Willie, and Kevin ) but we're not trying to convert anyone. ;)

 

Liam Hoekenga

 

Liam has a BA in Linguistics from the University of Michigan and taught Kevin html when the web was crawling out of its primordial ooze.

He is a dancing, singing, witty, bitter, clever marvel who wants everything in the world to play the fight song while blinking and spinning.

Him goodfellaman.

Kasthuri Ilankamban

Kasthuri has degrees in biochemistry, rocket science, computer science, juggling, cheese, and is a fantastic Oracle DBA. She has two delightful children, Vaishu and Vijay, who should probably be webmasters by now.

In an amazing feat of linguistic prowess, Kasthuri learned to speak the language 'Tamil' before she was even old enough to read.

She is a little bit taller and a lot less fuzzy than this picture suggests.

 

Willie Northway

Willie graduated from the Residential College with a degree in statistics. He spent the next few entertaining years furthering his education by working along the crest of the dot-com wave.

When not working, he occupies much of his time with photography, vegetarian cooking for 50, ice hockey, participating in a cohousing community, zymurgy, off-road biking, sleeping outdoors in a tent, and spending time with his wonderful wife.

Tony Winkler

 

Tony is dramatic. He can kick you in the head but, frankly, considers it beneath him.

He recently bought a house. We're thinking this newfound impoverishment will have him making fewer trips to the nickel jar. Buy him a sandwich and he just might let you sit in his hottub.

Tony is a whole lot funnier than you think he is. No one on the team is likelier to make milk come out of your nose. He's stealth funny.

Kevin McGowan

 

Kevin earned a BA in Linguistics from the University of Michigan in 1996 and has been a UM Webmaster, pretty much, ever since. He was the team's leader from October 1999 through August 2006. Currently he is working towards a PhD in computational linguistics.

He plays the bodhran & guitar, rides his bike, loves his macintosh, rides his bike, adores his wife, and rides his bike.
