Why'd you make your name that way?

SandDollar... old name I had, always was blessed with finding sand dollars on the beach in Florida, that I started bringing them to barter circles and made good trades with em. My ex-wife started calling me by the name a few years into it all, and it stuck.. one day on a good dose of lsd, while we were on an island in the gulf, I collected 114 live sand dollar critters and piled them on a raft... then proceeded to fling em like frisbies back into the ocean. Just kinda old luck...

 

Sounds like a smokescreen to me.

 

Yes, that's not a typo.

 

MIT geek - you had first dibs on the Internet, dincha?

 

just some rapper i like named large amount im actually much more interested in small to medium sized amounts

 

Since you asked, the internet began around 1969, I think, just before I came to MIT. For many years, it was used only by academics and researchers and maybe the military.

1982 was when I first connected a 300-baud modem to my Apple II Plus. In those days, it was still unusual to connect to the actual internet unless you had a Unix machine. So, ordinary people like me had to sign up for private networks like CompuServe or The Source, which I did. Also there were many privately run bulletin boards, but you had to know their telephone numbers and their communication settings.

 

Damn, I had forgotten that CompuServe was around that early. Guess you're not quite as geeky as I thought. Yeah, real geeks used Unix.

when i was sixteen i thought patti smith was super awesome. and i heard about a play she did with sam shepard where she played a character named cavale. in it, she says cavale is french for escape, and at the time there was nothing in the world i wanted more than escape.

so, i stole the name.

 

Thats because all Australian are direct descendants of people from Wales
