My name is Mason Porter. I am a Professor in the Department of Mathematics at UCLA. Previously I was Professor of Nonlinear and Complex Systems in the Mathematical Institute at University of Oxford. I was also a Tutorial Fellow of Somerville College.
The shirt is ok; I'm basically blogging about it because I really like the term 'epic fail'. I've been spreading this term around here, along with other phrases I like such as "tool".
If you haven't already, I'd recommend using the lolcat "epic fail" post as a visual aid to the concept: http://icanhascheezburger.com/2007/11/07/epic-fail-2/
And judging from the link, there's now an entire failblog, some entries on which happen to be epic. :-)
A worthy project!

That's a funny picture.
ReplyDeleteI got the term 'epic fail' from Lemming, and I fell in love with it. :)
I used it last year in the official online comments to describe my impression of one of the students I interviewed.
