> My name is Kevin, I'm 18, and a first year computer science major at Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Worcester, MA. I grew up in Ohio though (it's 'pop', not 'soda' :) ).

Yes it is! We in Canada call it "pop" as well, and I had always thought that ALL US citizens called it "soda"... Glad to see there's at least one state that isn't backwards. :-p

> Also I like listening to music. My web page says more on that than I can fit in here. :) I'll fill in the link to my page in those "link" forms there, and see how that comes up. My page has a bunch of stuff about me mostly if anyone's interested.

With links, I have learned that you need to enter something in the "Link Title" box as well to get your link to show up. If you did that, well, I don't know what else to tell you.

> Well that's about all. Oh. "Syrinx" is a reference to the Rush song "2112", one of the parts deals with the 'temples of Syrinx'. I looked up some stuff about it after I started using it... apparently 1) In Greek myth, Syrinx was a nymph that Pan chased around until she turned into a reed to escape him, and he made those pipes you always see him with out of her (oops, Syrinx is a female name, oh well) and 2) Birds don't have a larynx, they have a syrinx.

"Monkeyman" refers to a nickname I picked up in my first year of university. It suits me too well, so I have kept it.

Welcome to RinkWorks. I've only been posting here just over a month or so myself... Have you tried RinkChat yet? Another WONDERUL addiction... I look forward to seeing you in there some time.
