 as we were climbing Black Tusk in Garibaldi Park, BC. |   | Here's Peter (on the left), my wife Pat Sparkes 
 and me attempting to make music.  
 Peter's wife Shirley is taking the picture (in their kitchen). |   |

 For those who doubt its existence, here is a certified 
 NMR * image of 
 my brain.  
   
 [ *Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, 
 the proper name for the zeugmatographic imaging technique 
 usually called "MRI" by wimps who are afraid to terrify morons 
 with the N-word.  Nuclear, nuclear, nuclear! 
 Nyaah, nyaah!  My brain has nuclei in it!  So does yours, 
 and it isn't because of Chernobyl or weapons testing.]

 Enough recreation; let's get down to business.

Physics:
 Are you interested in Physics?  In 1996-97 I ran my UBC course 
 
 Physics 200 (Relativity and Quanta) off a Web site using the 
 lovely WebCT 
 Course Tools developed by Computer Science jocks at 
 UBC; you need an ID and password 
 to get access to that site, but I am maintaining a 
 
 public P200 Home Page for a subset of the course 
 (like HyperText Handouts on various subjects) that 
 anyone is welcome to peruse.  
In Spring 1997 I also put parts of 
 
 Physics 455 (Statistical Mechanics for Engineering Physics) 
 on WebCT.  
 As for PHYS 200, there is also a 
 
 public P455 Home Page if you're interested.  
 As of 1998-99, there is also a Web site for the Physics part of 
 Science 1.  
 If you imagine that my personal tastes in Web sites 
 hold any interest for you, feel free to have a look at 
 the ones I have organized by topic (my own idiosyncratic list) 
 in  
 Jess Brewer's Web Map.  You'd probably do better to 
 go straight to DEC's 
 AltaVista 
 search engine, though.  Better yet, try 
 google.com !  
 If you are fond of elementary particle physics, 
 you may also want to peek at my diagrams of 
  
  Pion Decay and P-violation 
 or maybe 
  
  Muon Decay.  Enjoy.
University Life:
 Finally, if you are desperate enough for hypertext to have read this far 
 then the following cynical advice for new faculty members might amuse you:
