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.

Just some guy, you know...

You Exist
The Only Thing You Have to Do Is Die

*Which is to say...if you search for Meaning, it is not answers you should be looking for, it is the right questions. QP hopes to be a process by which one can derive useful questions, and nothing more.

Update: See behind the scenes and everything...the author at work and play and researching, i.e. my natural state of being.
