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'm a mathematics artist living in Somerville MA.
I'm very skeptical about the notion that discovery and creativity of new mathematics can be systematized (the so called "higher dimensional algebra" and the modern addiction to category theory gives me the heebie-jeebies).
