Getting to know the Kerbster

At the request of members of the RIT Honors Publicity Committee, I put together a little write-up about myself a few days ago. I had enough fun constructing the article that I'm posting it here for others to read. It is a nice exercise to write about yourself every now and then. Enjoy:
So there's this guy named Eric P. Kerby. Some of you know him as that third year honors student who is a VP on council and makes the honors website tick. A few more of you will know him as that CIAS photo tech student with a camera at honors events. So for those of you who want to know more about this tall, red-haired chap, read on.
Eric is one of those nutty art students who studies Imaging and Photographic Technology and somehow ends up with a Bachelor of Science degree. In his freshman year at RIT, he began working for ITS to support Macs on campus. He still holds this job and has a knack at making an ailing Mac feel top notch. Last summer he went down south to Hampton, Virginia to be close to home and work at NASA Langley Research Center. Hundreds of photos and a dynamic website later, he returned to RIT to mentor incoming freshmen. In his spare time, Kerby tends to stay busy with way too much web programming. He loves to surround himself with technology that he uses in innovative ways. Somewhere in there he finds time to keep his various Linux servers running at their best, especially the one that drives his website, epkphoto.com. These days you can often find him in his Perkins apartment following the latest environmental issues (you should read his senior high school speech lambasting corn-based ethanol) and listening to podcasts and country music.

Extremely creative and well-written concise self-portrayal. Must admit some relief in that there was no mention of the development of any destructive adult vices listed among the major consumers of your time.
