His html skills are from the late 90s, clearly.. Thank goodness we don't judge him for that :)

No, this is the way to do it. Haven't you seen a CS / engineering professor's page? Those with knowledge don't need to be flashy, that's for salesmen.

Would he answer if I called?

Not likely, since that phone number is for the Google Customer Support. You would likely not even get a human :)

Internet needs more home pages like this. Fast to load, fast to read. There's contact information and couple links to get some more information.

EDIT: at least I prefer pages like this over say LinkedIn profile.

>Internet needs more home pages like this.

If you're talking solely about its looks and contents, then I won't argue. But if you look at the HTML behind it... it's pretty bad: the internet doesn't need more pages this poorly written. :P Try and validate it: https://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fericschmidt....

Half as many errors as there are lines of HTML, and that's HTML 4 transitional.

Oh well, it doesn't matter too much, but I'm a web developer so I still have to care to a degree. ;)

It is not from 90's. Look at that twitter button!

I like the image. It's apparently from Wall Street Journal - "Pencil Drawing - Eric Schmidt.png".

That picture is from the 1000 USD banknote...

Interesting... I may decide to downplay my own page... I've been trying to find a combination of time and motivation to move my blog and homepage into something more cohesive, though I don't think I'd go quite this basic... it looks so much like something from 1994 to be honest.

As to another's comment on the speed... interestingly enough the image and twitter button don't actually load that fast... they pop in.... for what it is, having the images inline may be a better choice (for raw speed). As would simplifying the broken markup.

It's missing the opening <HEAD> tag. Is that a thing?
