About Me: I love all things tech and encouraging girls to pursue all things tech, plus comic books, writing poetry, psycho-analyzing people ....oh, and world peace. My current obsessions are two important females in my life: a virtual one, Zoey, and a real one, my daughter, Rani.

Online Nic: This information is confidential for the security and safety of the above named person's, and we stress that online anonymity is an important safeguard to prevent identity theft and online and offline harassment, including but not limited to: being made fun of for things you posted online when you were sixteen, people you'd really rather not know IMing for directions to the yurt, strangers walking up on the street and telling you how cute your chihuahua is even when she isn't with you, and discovering, much to your surprise, that you are, apparently, in a relationship with Steve from Texas; privacy being the express purpose of an online nic, it shall remain private :) .
About Me: I am disturbingly fond of emoticons, my dog, and melodrama. A student of the expressive arts, I'll use anything from tin foil to feathers to a dulcimer to create something. The theoretical underpinnings of math and science fascinate me over and over again, and I love playing with geometric and quantum ideas through my artwork. Oh, and really- read the email first, 'kay?
