[edit] Frequenty Asked Questions

What does "Zigamorph" mean?

See my Wiktionary article.

Where can I imbibe the wit and wisdom of Zigamorph?

See my Live Journal or MySpace.

Where can I buy swag with that cool Zigamorph logo?

See my on-line store.

What's with that Zigamorph logo, anyway?

It was created as a kind of computer self-portrait in 1992 (when I had more hair) shortly after the release of version 2.0 of IBM's OS/2 computer operating system, done with the included system icon editor. This unusual legacy accounts for its extremely coarse granularity, since it was originally 32x32 pixels.

Isn't that Zigamorph logo rather... um... egotistical?

Probably, but I'm worth it. I'm really more of a narcissist than an egotist. You should just be glad I'm not a solipsist.

What are Zigamorph's qualifications to expound upon various encyclopedic subjects?

I read the 1953 edition of the World Book Encyclopedia when I was six years old. It seemed like a good idea at the time, but in retrospect it represented an unwise embarkation upon a lifetime of verbose pomposity. There were annual updates, and I felt an unhealthy precocious nostalgia for having missed the International Geophysical Year.
