Nomenclature

When I had a website, I called it "Kiwi the Geek's Cute Little Website". Sometime after I sleep, I'll be able to think of a bunch more names, and I might change this, but for now it works. I'm sure you wanna know where it came from, so:

Kiwi the Geek
When I babysat in high school, one of "my babies" called me Kiwi when he was learning to talk. I think he was embarrassed by the fuss his parents and I made over it, and he learned to say my name right away. But I liked Kiwi, so I kept it. When I got a Yahoo account, 'kiwi' wasn't available, so I chose 'kiwi_geek', as I was a computer science major. Over time, I became 'Kiwi the Geek'.

Cute Little Blog
When a friend and I were partners in CS, I always said things like, "I made a cute little batch file to do that", or "We need to write a cute little function to handle such-and-such". (I think that came from Grover.) So he started teasing me. If I said, "I'm writing a new function", he would have to ask, "Will it be a cute little function?" And I would be annoyed. So it became a joke. And now you get to share the joke. Don't you feel special?
