Timothy R. Hill, PhD

Welcome. Thanks for stopping by. This is a humble site, designed to summarize my existence in about 15k. (One thing you can say about me is that I'm easy to download.)

You're welcome to email me but your message may end up getting automatically tagged as spam if you include obscene references in the subject line. Don't worry. Just move them to the body of the message and you'll be ok.

Shtick: Born and raised in Indiana. (Think Woody Boyd.) An extra in the movie Hoosiers! (spirited, but uncredited) Graduated from Purdue and IU, leaving me left brain/right brain conflicted. Married one similarly afflicted. Spent a few years in Hawaii, a few years in San Francisco. Wound up living in Berkeley and working in San Jose. (Yes, I do know the way. No, it's not funny anymore. Yes, you're getting old.) Hobbies: Emily and Griffin (aged 2 and 5). Achievements: Learning to love chaos. Goals: occasional peace and quiet. Attainable goals: surviving the teen years (?)

Tip: By day, I'm disguised as a mild-mannered MIS professor at a great metropolitan university (SJSU). Click here for proof.

the loved ones Here's a picture from the SJSU Website "Virtual Tour" in which I was caught not wearing my silly hat at commencement. I later found out that 1) only the students (not the professors) are supposed to throw them, 2) they're supposed to be thrown after the ceremony, and 3) they're not to be thrown maliciously or "at anyone with intent of bodily harm" (some places are so into rules).
