So, I was involved in mathNEWS from 1995 to 2001. I started by drawing a few covers (ended up doing 14!), progressed into random filler, and for a while even had my own column, "Cynic's Corner", where I tended to rant about little in particular. My termly column of "Everything One Needs To Know in Life Can be Learned by Reading mathNEWS" had slightly more content. Oh, and I was also an editor for a while.
However, I DID run a few rather clever episodic series' over the course of my time in MC3041 as well. One, "Quantum Loop" (a parody of Quantum Leap) was intended to be semi-educational, and the other, "General l'Hopital", was simply an outlet for outrageous math/computer puns - though they did have morals. In addition, I ran a short sequence of "Sine Field" columns (a parody on Seinfeld) that tended to appear randomly.
Now, here, for the first time grouped together, are those series! Or rather, links to them on the mathNEWS website, because who am I, bandwidth guy? They can probably use the extra hits anyway. Either way, watch in amazement as the quality of my humour... um... increases? decreases? goes whacky? You be the judge.
