Never thought I would see a professor from my alma mater show up on the front page of HN! I could have maybe seen Dr. Wallingford (http://www.cs.uni.edu/~wallingf/) for his love of functional programming or Dr. McCormick (http://www.cs.uni.edu/~mccormic/) for contributions to ADA, but not Dr. O'Kane!

Took Database Systems from Dr. O'Kane. He was a pretty fun professor.
