Bruce is a sweetheart, a prince of a guy. Okay, so he makes us grovel before he'll buy us the latest software and toys, and he would probably rather be fed to starving hyenas than let us drive his vintage 1968 Mustang convertible (289 V-8, power top, power steering, power brakes, AM/FM cassette player, rebuilt to specs). But he's still the kind of guy who'd give you the shirt off his back. Unless it's his Packers shirt, which seems to be welded to his body.

This laid-back Canadian was a Tripodian long before he actually started working here. (Being a Tripod spouse and a ping pong guru will do that for you.) We all thought of him as an extremely low-key guy, but get him across the border and the crazy Canuck comes out of his shell — he skats, he sings French Molson ads, he does the best impersonations this side of SNL... but mainly he just destroys everyone at ping pong.Heather Snowman
Assistant Controller

She's not frosty, but she is a former ski bunny from the slopes in Colorado Springs, CO. As Assistant Controller, Heather's keeping all of us and our resident bean counter, Bruce, in line. (Which is hard to do considering how often Bruce injures himself.) Heather worked for Apple, and we knew that she was destined to work for Tripod when she confessed that she washed her mother's $200 calculator when she was a little girl. Keep an eye on the servers!Dwayne Miller

Dwayne leaves his true loves — wrestling and his two daughters Kate and Emily — to schlep 25 miles north each day to Billsville to fix our cranky computers and our equally cranky temperaments. But we're glad he does because with his dead aim with a rubber band and past experience as a US military wrestling champ, he keeps all the membership folks in line.

Jenny is a native New Yorker who ventured to the City of Angels for a brief stint and then returned home to crash with her parents for a while. She hasn't gone crazy yet, but between home and Tripod, we'll see how long it takes! In the meantime we figure her melifluous voice (she studied music and voice at NYU) on the switchboard will lull all the people who call Tripod World Headquarters into a state of euphoria, which will make all of our workdays a little more pleasant.
