Yes, my username is my real name. There aren't many of us in the states, due in large part to that fucker from WWII. If you meet another one, they're most likely related. Just don't lend any of 'em money. Most importantly, I have three incredible kids. You'll be hearing about them in the future for sure -- they'll all be making their mark on the world as soon as they're done with college. One's an ME, another's a performer, and the last is the Mycroft to his brother's Sherlock. (Smarter, but no good at field work.) For me, I am a Land Rover Owner through and through, even though I don't currently own a working one (see note about college above). I'm a big fan of electric skateboards (I own two) and have gotten into woodworking in order to build a skateboard rack and a harmonograph. Oh, yeah, I designed a harmonograph for schools and science museums. (Currently, as of 2022, in testing/fine-tuning before going to Kickstarter.) I've also, in the past, led backpacking trips for the Sierra Club, taught swimming under the legendary Charlie Sava, collected computers, sang with the SF Opera & SF Symphony, and owned tap shoes. I'm on the board of a theatre company non-profit and ran for the Board of Ed in San Francisco's historic 2018 election. I am a mentor for a FIRST Robotics team. Politically, I am ultra liberal, albeit with the healthy dose of reality that comes with being on the planet for well over half a decade. I have fought long and hard for the rights of the LGBTQ+ community and am proud of having been quoted in a scholarly book as a "lesbian blogger" (despite being neither female nor gay). I have spent the last 40 years (not a typo) as a computer programmer; I was on the internet before most of you were born.

He didn't deserve this.  None of us did, but especially him.
