The Amazing Shneiderman

Sung to the tune of “Spiderman”, with apologies to Paul Francis Webster and Robert “Bob” Harris, and with respect to Ben Shneiderman.

Ben Shneiderman’s Encounters with HCI Pioneers: A Personal Photo Journal

Shneiderman, Shneiderman, 
Does whatever a writer can!
Weaves a web, any size, 
publishes just so wise.
Look Out! 
Here comes the Shneiderman.

Ben Shneiderman

Is he smart? 
Listen sane,
He’s got radioactive brain.
Can he think with his head?
Take a look, he’s well read!
Hey, there,
There goes the Shneiderman.

At the speed of thought,
Ideas of design,
In a publication,
He writes just in time!

Shneiderman, Shneiderman,
Friendly scholarly Shneiderman.
Wealth and fame
He’s ignored.
Publication’s his reward.

To him, life is a great big write up
Whenever there’s a reference
You’ll find the Shneiderman.
