I did not pay particular attention to the Google service at scholar.google.com until I read Luis Villa’s <a href=http://tieguy.org/blog/2006/06/18/crowding-out-of-intrinsic-motivations-aka-the-bounty-problem/blogblog about that site. For kicks, I typed in my name, and viola, a blast from the past – my MSEE thesis showed up as item #2. Yay!
