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

The Wayback Machine has some interesting things:

* 2001: A big photo that looks like it was taken during a "Networld+Interop"/Novell presentation

* 2001: eschmidt@novell.com :)

* 2002: eschmidt@google.com

* 2005: ericschmidt1@yahoo.com

* 2014: twitter button

It hasn't changed much since 2001 :)

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'…

Around 2012 there was an edit but the first two lines were accidently removed - both the and tags are now missing but later closed.

This can be confirmed with internet archive. [1] vs [2]

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.
