Probably one of the most amazing things I have ever seen.

The end of the beard.

Well, I kept the beard until the end of the year like I wanted to. I had to trim it back for family pictures. It looked decent. Then I shaved it off in January, doing lots of fun different styles along the way.

So here are the pics of the progression, from face coat to smooth.

The competition!

We had the mustache competition last night at the work holiday party. After a rousing game of White Elephant was the grand competition. The best moustache! Only five of us competed, and there was clearly only one winner. Ken, with the costume to boot, garnered the most rousing support and went home victorious, King Moustache!

: All us hoodlums.

: Lined up for voting

: Awaiting the verdict.

: Who has the best stache?

: Ken, the only one with a real stache

: Kris with imposter burns

: The winner! Singing to a lollipop.

: The Winner, exercising.

Furry Christmas

We got the tree up, and if you look really, really closely, you’ll see I trimmed my moustache. And if you notice that, you’ll need to get your head checked. As the wife clearly shows…

In the server room

Today’s images are brought to you in the little “server room” next to my office. It’s really just a room with tile flooring. The Computer Science Department wants to make it into a server room, so I had to move all of our junk out. We had lots.

Multiple places

Beard

I had a cool idea to take a pic of me in all the different places I was at that day… but only took two.

First one is in my Prof. office before discussing the inner workings of Google and how that affects digital scholarship.

The second is in my class about Modernity and the Third Reich. I woke up at 3:45am to read the book for this class, so I was quite sleepy by the time of this picture, 7:25pm. We ended up not discussing the book…

Notice also that I got a hair cut. Jess does a wonderful job.

I’m still truckin along with my beard. It’s a bit itchy now and again, but well worth it. My bike ride to work and back are much more bearable with a natural face coat!
