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 occasionally teach at a university in southern california, but in the last several years, most of my work has been building machines, often of the "rube goldberg" variety (most notably, for OKGo's "This Too Shall Pass" video and The Colbert Report).
