About

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 am a math professor at a community college in Florida. I am very interested in the philosophy of Ludwig Wittgenstein (though I don't necessarily think everything he said is true); thus, the nickname.
