in 3-d, i'm quite different from roachboy.
i dont really bring too much of other things that i do to tfp because they dont seem to fit...but that's not a bad state of affiars--it's actually part of the appeal of the place. this applies particularly to the academic work i do, which for the most part isnt here. but by the time i got out of graduate school, i dont think i remembered how to communicate with other people who are not also eyeballs deep in theory-land. the result was that i bored myself stupid alot. developing roachboy was an aspect of working my way out from under that.

i do the occaisonal websearch for myself: my webprofile is of this curious radical.

it think it's funny for the most part, but from time to time it gets in the way.
so there are times when i wish i could vaporize my webtrail--which is bigger than i would have thought---but mostly i dont particularly care about it one way or another.

as far as web-specific activities or habits are concerned, i am a dull boy.
i dont talk a whole lot about tfp but i dont really know why that is--just a choice i made at some point that it seems convenient to stick with. inertia maybe.
past that, though, the dots are easy enough to connect across personae if you start doing it from the right angle.
if you know me in 3-d, its obvious how these things fit together, i think.
if you dont, nothing really connects properly.
i guess that's kind of a way to protect my privacy--simply allow this disconnection between personae to unfold as it does anyway.
