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 basically just me. I'm a PhD student in Music Education, and that's basically all of my time. I teach classes at the university I'm at, along with playing and teaching bassoon on the side. I've got an awesome-possum wife, who I've been married to for almost 2 years now. She deals with my brand of crazy better than anyone else.

SNWidget is a callback to a college nickname of mine.
