While I have had posting privileges for some time, I have refrained from posting because I was seeking a topic worthy and in the spirit of the preeminent Hemeac. I believe I have found such a topic. I know that the traditional first post/program/etc is suppose to be ?Hello World? as so wonderfully demonstrated by binkyfinder (or a welcome with no relevant info as so wonderfully demonstrated by the facetious Hemeac so long ago on an eventful Tuesday evening in January). So?HELLO WORLD.

Now, to move on, I would like to offer an ode to Trevor. In my humility, I realize that any ode I may offer is incomplete, slight, and unworthy of serious consideration. However, I offer it anyway?

Oh Trevor, you were always there for us with an odd tidbit of news so obscure we would have never heard about it without you. Luckily, you can easily post these to Hemeac.com and we all can stay well informed. Oh Trevor, you were always there with a rant or a tirade or just a mumble under you breathe about some moronic aspect of society or an advertisement or a person. Thankfully, you post your feelings on Hemeac.com (under both the ?Rants? and ?Absolutely Pathetic? categories). Although it is difficult to distinguish between the tirades and the under-the-breathe mumbles over in a blog, we can imagine. Oh Trevor, you were always there at 4 a.m. burning the late night oil with homework or computer games or even just a movie, even though you had an early class the next morning. It is reassuring to know that when I wake up each morning there is a good chance you will have posted on Hemeac.com since I last checked at midnight (just out of curiosity, what percentage of you posts are posted between 11 pm and 6 am?). Oh Trevor, you were always there to fix our computer or technology needs, to help us download software (legally of course) or kill viruses or install new hardware. And while I do not believe you will regularly post this sort of thing on Hemeac.com, fear not. We WILL call you with all our technological needs, complaints, desires, fears and hopes. We will call you up, ask how Arizona is and how you are doing, and then dive into the real reason for the call, ?Why is my computer dancing and flirting with my girlfriend and how can I stop it?? Oh Trevor, you were there many other times as well, and we will all miss you greatly. The state of Minnesota sends one of her finest out into the great big world.

On a side note, I do not know how much or what level of math you will encounter in grad school, but if you need any help, give me a call. I will most likely have a computer question for you too.
