[Sidney Crosby's Hat]

For those wondering...

Yes, the question mark is actually part of my name, at least according to Australian law. I'm originally from there, but recently completed the marathon application process to become a dual citizen of Canada too. To add to the challenge, I did this while living in the US. People kept asking if I'll be getting US citizenship next and I kept laughing at that. Somewhat hysterically, it must be said.


People sometimes ask me why I have a question mark in my name. In fact, somebody does this approximately fifteen times a day. (One day, I'm sure he'll get bored and go away.) If you haven't lived with an incredibly common name, then you have no idea what it's like to be entirely invisible on Google. Not that the question mark actually solves that, but at least it differentiates me from that guy from The Cure. It's been twenty years now and sadly his career shows no sign of drying up.
