A couple of years ago I noticed Silicon Graphics (SGI) had staff personal
pages linked from their site (don't know if they still do).
A lot of the personal pages were about mad 3D visualisation stuff (as well
as baby pictures, etc) so it left me with a very positive impression of the
people and the organisation. I remember thinking: these people are really
into their work(!)
