Stephen Becker: personal info

• ASCIT movie library -- list of titles
• My photoalbums created with JAlbum, 2006 to present. I try to keep this current. Also includes a few links to my Picasa Webalbums.
• Mountains I've climbed since 2000 (this I keep up-to-date).
• Old picture galleries from my climbing page, last updated in Dec. 2005
• Latest website endorsement: The Pain comics. A new one comes out every week, but they have archives back to 2000. And an even newer addition, not for the faint-of-heart: Perry Bible Fellowship. Also, the classic grad student strip, Piled Higher and Deeper, based off of life at Stanford; and my high school favorite, Where the Buffalo Roam, based off of life at CU, although it's becoming a bit dated. And even though XKCD is uber-trendy at Caltech, I can't resist two links to specific XKCD strips: the James Bond and Raptor Exams, although this raptor one is also pretty good.
  The XKCD raptor exam was inspiration for this homework I wrote when instructing ACM11; the students hated the problem.
• I'm involved with GSC flag football, playing for the "Playmakers". It's fantastic. I finally learned what a corner-back does, and I get to run routes against the students I teach (maybe that's why they let me catch the ball...).
• I'm the president of the Caltech Alpine club. I spend the club's money, mess with the website, and try to make sure that no undergraduates die. We lead big winter mountaineering trips twice a year, and other people lead rock climbing trips several times per week.
