What is "yossarian", BTW? I'd gotten confused thinking it was someone else's blog, because I naturally parse that as a surname.

  John Yossarian is the protagonist of Joseph Heller’s Catch-22[1], which was my favorite book in high school. Like a lot of people, my handle is a slightly embarrassing memorialization of my younger self :-) [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catch-22 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catch-22

    Don't be embarrassed, it's a good book (and was my favorite too).
