 <!-- text --> Occasionally I will have a creative outburst. Many have made their way to one of the finest sites on the Web, <a href="http://www.cs.washington.edu/homes/brad/op/o.pops.html"> The Otter Pops Home Page</a>.  My contributions include <a href="http://www.cs.washington.edu/homes/brad/op/theory.html"> theories on the origins of Sir Isaac Lime</a>, <a href="http://www.cs.washington.edu/homes/brad/op/arts.haiku.html"> Otter Pops haiku</a> and my personal favorite, <a href="http://www.cs.washington.edu/homes/brad/op/arts.combo.html"> <em>Freezing Pot</em></a>. (I have also been sighted masquerading as  <a href="http://www.cs.washington.edu/homes/brad/op/party.html"> Alexander the Grape</a>.)  I am also guilty of writing for and performing in the graduate student skit at our department's annual holiday party.  I may be a horrible actor, but I'm pretty good at rewriting song lyrics.
