Illustrated Notes from Computer Science: Tom Murphy VII gets more bored in class than you. And thanks to his free fonts, your boredom can look just as snazzy. (Previous Tom7-related action here. This guy keeps busy. I blame the 80/20 rule.)

Hmm... the term he is looking for in the "I'm a Compiler" one is, quine. Well, not really, but its closer than compiler.

I wish I had a name like "Tom 7". It's so 21st century.

Some of his fonts remind me of the Napoleon Dynamite cover.

These notes are SO much better than the ones I took during my AI class. For one, they're legible.

More tom7 projects: Escape - Fun puzzle game. snoot.org - Online toys and games. Spun off from the now defunct snoot.com, which had online toys, games, humorous essays, and some other stuff. I went to college with Tom, and he's one of the funniest and smartest people I've ever met.
