It was 1997, and I was an intern at Microsoft. (I've written <a href="http://drzaius.ics.uci.edu/blogs/danyelf/archives/000078.html">some</a> about this experience before.) One metaphor that came to mind during our discussions was that of joining the Empire. Led, of course, by the Dark Lord, Bilth Gater. I've been sitting with these comics on my hard drive since 1997. Now that I really have joined Microsoft, I thought it would be fun to share them. Incidently, I don't remember Samedh's last name, or how to contact him. These images are, however, all copyright by Samedh, 1997. http://danyel.smugmug.com/Humor/Bilth-Gater/Bgcom1/12087543_WB4ub-Ti.jpg http://danyel.smugmug.com/gallery/304208_LciPs/ 2004-11-30T05:22:46Z Copyright 2009, the copyright holder of each photograph.
