Are you taunting us?  I'm sure that at least a few on in
this group could pool their influence to get your face on
the cover of CACM.

I'm looking over "Data in Flight" or "Two Views of MapReduce
Capabilities" or "Rebuilding for Eternity" and all I'm
thinking is, Brian's floating face has replaced Charon
leading us across the River Styx so that we can make the best
of Limbo.  In doing so he helps us to pass the First Circle
and continue our voyage without Go-ing nuts.

Unfortunately I get interrupted in mid thought with a small
interlude of Cleese instructing Brian to correct his Latin
grammar...
