Finally- A name and face I recognize

[AnalogKid2DigitalMan]

I have seen nearly a dozen NI ads where they feature an end-user of LabVIEW, and finally came across a name and face I recognize from the forums:

You look a little grayer (and wiser) than I recall from NI Week 2007!

Who is that guy?

Congrats on the exposure!

Related... I was supprised to Open Physics Today a couple of months ago to find my "G-Daddy" (Dr. Jeremy Levy, University of Pittsburgh, Condensed Matter Physics) looking at me singing the praises of his new AFM.

Clearly not someone who can be taken seriously. I mean, who takes a guy just wearing a T-shirt seriously?

And I do believe that twinkle in the eye alludes to a certain non-chalance.

It's Chris.

Sure hope that guy handles the paparazzi better than Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears.

The same ad is in IEEE Spectrum for May 2011.  Congratulations.

Hey Chris, what's next? A box of Wheaties?

Thanks for pointing it out, I haven't seen anything on real paper yet.

I agree with the grayer, but it is really hard to tell because the hair is also vanishing at the same time.

I remember you well. Hope to see you again in Austin.

As a kid, I always thought it goes together with "rich", but then I went into academia. 😮

Well, it was taken in the hallway at NI Week 2010, so depending on the exact location relative to the AC vent it was either a light t-shirt or a heavy sweater. There is no middle ground. 😄

Is it real or is it photoshop? 😮

 I will have two security guards. Please bring your magazines ads and form a single file for autographs. :D:o
