Hello everyone. Mr. MILFord Meanswell has a middle name. His middle name is Vannevar. As some of you might know, I changed my name a little over a year ago now, and I chose the middle name Vannevar because I needed something with a little snap to offset Huxley Hobbes. I also chose it because Vannevar Bush, from whom I got the name, was kind of cool in many ways (And very uncool in others, but who is counting?). Memex, for instance, and a general prediction about the 'tubes. And of course, my initials are now entirely symmetical - HVH - it's almost like a title of nobility.

What, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, Turing bots and aimbots, tenth generation polysentients and organic superlubes, are your middle names, and from whence do they hail?
