Many thanks to Mermaid for forwarding me this most excellent email signature from a local frog biologist, and for securing Dr. Helbing’s permission to blog it!
I remember a phase of DNA helix squiggles in email signatures in the early 2000s, but I like the frog MUCH better. And the tadpoles! Squeeeeeee! Thank you, Dr. Helbing!
Happy Friday, everyone!
I used to have an email signature that was a pages worth of vertical bars, forming a thin line down the centre of the page. On scrolling down, the spider at the end of the thread came into view 🙂
One I’ve found since I liked is a “little devil”, you can see it in the link on my name.
Nice!
I used to use this one, but it didn’t make the move with me to my new job / email address
That’s very clever.
I think people forget what was and can be done within a limited context like ASCII.
Not unlike how some early computer graphics were limited to (say) what were really ASCII characters presented in 132 x 24 mode. (Think of games like Pong!)
Nice! I haven’t seen that ASCI script in years! I used to work across the hall from Dr. Helbing, and definitely helped her old lab technicians troubleshoot the old assay gone awry. Ahh, the petch building lunches…
Cool! Why do I always forget that you were at UVic?
*grumble grumble grumble mutter institutional restrictions bah humbug blarg*
right there with you….. no personal signatures here….
oh, how boring! As long as no-one has a crude or overtly religious/political email signature, where’s the harm in frogs, bikes, spiders and DNA helice?!
