WHat

I'm Sean Graham. Some people call me 'grahams'. These people apparently have difficulty understanding that my email address and login are not my name. I don't mind, I simply don't understand it. What I do mind is when people refer to me as "Sean Grahams". My first ISP assigned the login 'grahams', derived from my last name followed by my first initial. I have always requested the same login on subsequent machines, just out of custom. Enough of that nonsense.

Until I left for RIT, I had lived in New Jersey my whole life. I still consider myself living there, even though I have chosen to trap myself in Boston for long stretches of the year. I was born on March 31, 1977, in Overlook Hospital located in Summit, but I lived in North Plainfield for my first year. I don't really remember much of that town, just the occasional fragment or flash of the neighborhood. I am uncertain if those memories from when I was living there, or when my family went back to visit friends there.

I grew up...
