People ask me all the time why I chose the name ’skwp’ as my online identity. It comes from a short story by Asimov that I read in my younger years. In this story, skwp is an alien scribe/translator who speaks myriad languages. Somehow this appealed to my senses, and besides it’s about as short as you can get on the internet while still being unique enough to have this name available on pretty much every site requiring registration.
