About Us

Wow, so you really want to know more about who we are and what we do? Well, here we go; the current inhabitants of Pecker Floor (in no particular order):

Alex Duran

Pecker Floor's current resident Twinkie , there has been some debate as to whether Alex is a Senior or a Grad student. This debate has recently been resolved with the decision that Alex is actually in 16th grade.


Despite his meteoric rise to fame, Alex is still a little umcomfortable around cameras.

Dave Venturini

Although there'a link to Dave's web page here, we really have to caution you about checking it out. If you don't come out in an hour, we'll be forced to send someone in after you.

At last, a picture depiciting MIT students in their natural habitat: indoors with a computer.

Jacob Schwartz

Jacob currently holds the dubious honor of being the maintainer of the Random Hall Laundry Server , which allows us to monitor the status of our washers and dryers from a convenient Java applet. Neat, huh?

Josh Weaver

If every floor needs to have a Twinkie, than we certainly couldn't do without our very own denizen of the MIT Media Lab . Josh is a member of the Wearable Computing team , and is still trying to convince us that someday we'll all look like cyborgs...

Dan Kamalic

Dan is one of those people that sort of defies description. How can you summarize someone with ties to both The MIT Gilbert and Sullivan Players and The IHTFP Hack Gallery , who also happens to own more computer cruft than anyone else in Random?


This picture is just too pleasant to make a smart ass comment about, so enjoy it for what it is.

David Zhang

Dave is just another wild and crazy Course 6 major, as you can see from the picture below:

It's Dave and Alex, back from yet another night on the town.

Miroslav Jurisic

Having just joined Pecker Floor this summer, Miro divides his time between working for MIT I/S DCNS (excuse me, Team Athena) as a watchmaker and being a Mac enthusiast. We knew there still had to be one of them out there.....

Hareendra Yalamanchili

Hareendra can take credit for being one of the only people ever to be banished from the High Scores list of "Jumble" for having a score that was too high to be believed. Shows you what we do with our free time, huh?


Hareendra and Christian show off a little of that hacking ability that's gotten them where they are today.

Garry Zacheiss

Last but not least, the author of this page gets to rag on himself a little. Apart from spending his days as a very lonely Physics major in the midst of a horde of Course 6 majors, Garry donates the remainder of his time to The MIT Gilbert and Sullivan Players , and has plugged them as many times as is possible in these pages.

Garry relaxes after a long day.
