Eric, is that *really* a cross section of your head?

Of course it is really a cross section of my head! What, you think I would put a cross-section of someone else's head on my blog? -- Eric

If it is; why do you have an image of a cross section of your head?! Is there a story behind it?

It is a very boring story. I used to rent out a room in my house to a nice young woman who was at the time dating a student studying to be a radiologist at the UW medical school. One day he called me up and said "Eric, I need to practice with the MRI machine; can I take a photograph of the inside of your head?" Of course the answer is to that question was "yes!" The output of the MRI is a very simple greyscale bitmap file format, so it was easy to write a little script that turned the MRI output into BMP files, and there you go; as a result I've got a whole bunch of pictures of the inside of my head. -- Eric
