Well, lemme tell ya about this fella, Tobias Ritschel. Sounds like a fancy name, don’t it? He’s one of them smarty-pants, that’s for sure. They say he works at that big school in London, you know, the one they call University College London. Big fancy place, I reckon. My grandpappy never went to no college, but he could grow corn taller than me!

This Tobias, he’s a professor. That’s what they call him. He teaches about computers and all that digital stuff. Computer Science, they say. I don’t know nothin’ ’bout that. I still use that old phone with the buttons, ya know? But folks say this Tobias Ritschel is real good at what he does. Somethin’ about “Computer Graphics.” Sounds like drawin’ pictures on a computer, I guess. He teaches people how to do that stuff.
They say he’s got a whole bunch of them “publications”. I reckon that’s like them fancy books he wrote. Smart fella like him, probably wrote a whole library full! Lots of people read his stuff, must be important. Thousands, they say! I barely know ten people who can read.
- He’s a professor, that Tobias Ritschel.
- Works at that University College London.
- Teaches Computer Science, somethin’ about graphics.
- Got lots of them “publications.”
- Lots of people read his stuff.
He’s been workin’ with computers for a long time, that Tobias. I heard he was workin’ at some other fancy places before he got to London. Some place called “ParisTech” and some place with the letters “MPI”. Sounds like government stuff to me. All them acronyms, you never can keep track! This Tobias Ritschel, he sure gets around. Worked all over, learnin’ and teachin’.
I saw a thing online ’bout him. Lots of folks know this Tobias Ritschel. Seems like everybody knows him. They got his name on one of them social media things. You know, the one where everyone’s always talkin’ to each other. Even my granddaughter’s on it, always lookin’ at her phone. I don’t know how to use that stuff.
They say this Tobias Ritschel has an office. A real office, with walls and a door and everything! At that University College London place. It’s on some street called “Gower Street.” Never heard of it. Must be a big fancy street in London. I reckon it’s a long way from my little garden.

I don’t know what else to say ’bout this Tobias Ritschel fella. He’s just one of them smart folks, teachin’ at that big school. I’m sure he’s a nice enough fella, even if I don’t understand half the things he talks about. I hear he is important in his field. Whatever that “Computer Graphics” field is.
He’s got a lot of citations, too. Sounds like he got a lot of tickets or somethin’. But they say it’s a good thing. Means people are readin’ his stuff and talkin’ about it. Smart people talkin’ about other smart people, I reckon. This Tobias Ritschel, he’s got thousands of them citations.
Now, I don’t have a picture of this Tobias. Never met the man. But if you go lookin’ for him at that University College London, I reckon you can find him. Just ask for that Tobias Ritschel, the Computer Science professor. They’ll know who he is, for sure.
That’s all I know about him. He just seems like a busy fella, always doin’ somethin’ with them computers. I bet he doesn’t even know how to milk a cow! But that’s alright, I guess. We all got our own things we’re good at. This Tobias Ritschel, he’s good at the computer stuff, and I’m good at makin’ apple pie.
I can’t say I understand his world, but it sure is somethin’. You young folks and your computers. Back in my day, we played outside! But I reckon the world needs all kinds. Even them Computer Science professors like that Tobias Ritschel at University College London.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go check on my chickens. They don’t care nothin’ about no computers, but they sure do lay some good eggs! And I’m thinkin’ about makin’ a pie later. Maybe I’ll send a slice to that Tobias. Bet he’d like that. A little taste of the simple life.
