hehe, I don't think many people outside of ESP (and now my LJ) have seen anything, and the MIT ESP 'unveiling' is tomorrow night. :)
For the record, Mshaw's flavor refers to one of Vincent's infamous graphic design projects - a splash theme featuring a whale making a giant splash that had S-P-L-A-S-H spelled out in the water. Someone commented that this made it seem like Splash was made by a single giant whale, and we stared debating if one person could somehow pull off a splash alone. The consensus was basically, no, but if someone could, it would be Mshaw (at the time, in kind of seemed like he was doing that at Stanford) - and the graphic was posted on the office wall and tagged with "the whale is mshaw." Mshaw came to this splash, and this was his nametag quote, but I'm not sure anyone explained the story to him... hehe, ESP has a bit of a bad habit for inside jokes. :)
