username "mynamewastaken" has already been taken.
Ha ha ha. (no, I’m not actually laughing, that’s a dry, ironic recital of those three syllables to show mocking, begrudging acceptance of a ridiculous situation)
I signed up for twitter — not so much because I feel it’s a necessary part of an online life but rather because it seems an ideal tool for what it does: a forum for short, snarky reflections on life, the universe, and everything.
However, my proper name was taken, my website’s name was taken, both my preferred handles were taken — and a few of my backups (Beer Disposal Unit, Taishi’s Otaku Army, Epictetus of Nicopolis) are all too long.
I can’t use my professional pseudonym, so… I’ve decided to instead take on a mantle of pretension — not without cause, as I have taught college courses in the past* — if you decide to follow me on Twitter you’ll have to look for ProfessorBlind.
(if you already subscribe to my RSS feed, you can likely ignore me on Twitter, unless Twitter is your preferred platform)
[* as a TA. Psych 1001, Ga. Tech. I also taught homebrewing as an extension course for three years.]
