Given that you are reading this document, it is likely that you already have some notion how to find your way to my personal WWW page. You may have noticed my email address on the bottom of some of the pages. Nonetheless, here I present those details again in a neat box that you can print, cut out, and put in your wallet or purse. If you want a version of this business card to put in your wallet with printing on the back, then you’ll need to get one from me in person.

CSS trials…
If the business card above is not inside a neat box, your web browser does not properly implement CSS. So far all of the web browsers I have tested variations of this business card on fail to display it consistently. OmniWeb as late as version 4.1b6v399 refuses to draw a frame around the <table> it’s contained in, but will erroneously size the enclosing <div> to contain the image. Opera as late as version 5.0.498 and all versions of Internet Explorer I’ve sampled will correctly paint the <table> frame, but do not support the CSS2 min-height attribute. That means that the image, or the text if I mark it up differently, will overflow the <div> frame. If anyone is able to come up with a cross-browser technique for what I’ve done here, I’d love to see it.
Addendum, 29th August, 2003: I thought, for a brief shining moment, that Eric Meyer had come up with a solution, but, alas, the closest result still involved some non-semantic hacks and had grief if the text height exceeded the image height.
