What's the deal with your nickname? How did you get it? If your nickname is self-explanatory, then tell everyone when you first started using the internet, and what was the first thing that made you say "wow, this isn't just a place for freaks after all?" Was it a website? Was it an email from a long-lost friend? Go on, spill it.

I'm a software developer with a degree of sympathy for the liberal arts. My main project is a development toolkit for life simulation games; I hope that people will use it to simulate *their* lives, and understand themselves better thereby.

My favorite language is Python.
