Well, there goes my "Ryan C. decked out like a rapper, with 'YOUR MACROS 
ARE WEAK'."

I was hoping the "LOL cats" style would be amusing enough to offset any 
rudeness. At any rate, the message is the easiest thing to change. We 
just need something Matthias-y.

Here are the other two ideas I've had:

[Ryan C. Picture (not really dressed like a rapper)]
YOUR MACROS ARE WEAK
Robust, debuggable compiler extension. Only in Racket.

[Sam T. Picture]
TYPED AND UNTYPED
Living in harmony. Convert scripts to programs.

I'm not sure what poses I'd have them in. I'd probably ask for a few 
hi-res photos. Don't worry - I'd draw it flatteringly just like 
Matthias's. :)

I've been trying to come up with poster messages for Jay (web), John C. 
(stepper/teaching), Matthew, and Robby. Another angle: what aspects of 
Racket do we want to advertise?
