My name is Mike Rosulek and I'm a graduate student in computer science at the University of Illinois. I have a wonderful wife and a wonderful cat. I like photography, classical guitar, a cappella music, Red Dwarf, Pink Floyd, and skim milk.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Who am I kidding? I really don't get any fan mail..

Why is your site called mikero.com?
Mikero is a shortening of my name. Get it?
How is mikero pronounced?
Just like micro.
What part of computer science do you study?

Will you fix my computer?
Only if your computer is a pushdown automaton.
Umíš česky?
Jenom trochu. Dlouho jsem češtinu nestudoval, a více zapomenu každý den. Brzo tento nebudu moct číst.
Did you take all those pictures on the photos page?
Yes, photography is one of my vehicles for artistic self-expression. If you like any of my photos, please feel free to leave a comment or even send me an email.
What camera equipment do you use?
I have the (now very old) original Canon Digital Rebel (300D), the kit lens that came with it (18-55mm), and some other cheap 80mm zoom lens that I stole from my brother. I still have a lot to learn before I get close to exhausting the potential of this modest equipment, so I don't need anything fancier yet. For digital processing, I use ufraw and gimp.
Why don't you post pictures more often?
Lack of (pick your favorite reason).
