Thanks! Not unless you're in my research area. The art was intended to
be a stylized (and tidier) depiction of what's typically on my desk.
The titles are:
* CWM: Categories for the Working Mathematician (Saunders Mac Lane)
* CTiC: Category Theory in Context (Emily Riehl)
* PFPL: Practical Foundations of Programming Languages (Robert Harper)
* HLCS: Handbook of Logic in Computer Science (OUP)

Thanks for the suggestion. If you don't mind, I might steal your handle

I had long thought it was completely dead, but an article on comp.misc
a couple of days ago led me to look into putting something up in
gopherspace. I've since come across several vibrant communities on it,
many of which have nice ASCII art.

Indeed, I only set it up yesterday. Hopefully it will become more
populated in time. Futzing about with artist-mode was pretty fun.
I'm thinking I might make more ASCII art and host it there.
Best,
Ryan
