A while ago on my blog I posted about a super nerdy dream I had:

When you open up Adobe Photoshop, a little splash screen appears with a list of all the programmers’ names, and I always have noticed the name “Seetharaman Narayanan” because it looks super long and incredibly difficult to pronounce. I have no idea who this dude is, but last night I had a dream where I met him and we walked around.

Well, apparently others share my fascination with this guy and his awesome name — both Britta and Jeff have brought to my attention this interview with Seetharaman, which even mentions an online Seetha fanclub! (Photoshop just takes so damn long to open that we end up staring at those splash screens for a long, long time..) The picture of him isn’t exactly what he looked like in my dream, he was younger and moustache-less :-)

OK, OK… Finally, I just cooked up a YTMND, “Seetharaman Narayanan doesn’t change facial expressions”!!!, using Photoshop splash screens through the ages (from this neat collection.) (It’s slightly off because in earlier versions his name is shortened to Seetha…..doh)
