the University of San Francisco. I once
did research for
Cetus, a genetic engineering firm in Emeryville, CA. I might not be here today

- Favorite Cartoon Character:
- Zippy the Pinhead. Now, there is the
Zippy profile
Zippy speaks his mind,
and the Zippy Pindex
for those that might be uninitiated to the world of Zippy. Then for those
that are admirers of the microcephalic non-sequitor visionist may go to
some sample pages
or random things you might enjoy
which have this weeks' Zippy strips. Are we having fun yet? Finally, you can
Zippify any web page here.

- Best kept secret:
- A good friend of mine recently nicknamed me Hazel. It's because of my
