DoctorW has a username that references his Ph.D. in Developmental psychology (see article on theory of sense of community) but not

- his interest in
- his having written the world's first standard-keyboard Korean word processing program for the Mac ("best looking of any computer-generated Korean," according to prominent Cornell - now Harvard - Korean scholar David McCann);
- his having been a producer, director, screenwriter, production designer, DoP, Chyron operator, and film editor for American Community Cablevision;
- the fact that
- he was born in Hawaii,
- at age 8 he wrote, produced, directed, and performed in a two-act play,
- at age 10 his father brought back from Taiwan a Chinese language book, a calligraphy brush, and an ink stick,
- at age 14 he used descriptive statistics to summarize findings of an empirical research study he designed and carried out (on his own and just for fun),
- at age 15 he won his game in the team match at the San Diego Open chess tournament, and later that year climbed Mt. Whitney,
- at age 16 he built a model out of toothpicks and glue of a hypercube with all faces bisected (48 "inner" cubes), based on a projection he figured out himself (also on his own and just for fun),
- at age 19 he invented a base 12 numerical musical notation for chording (which immediately reveals the music-theoretical relationships among the notes, once again on his own and just for fun),
- at age 21 he escaped from a knife-wielding assailant by jumping on the hood (bonnet) of a car which sped away to safety,
- he is tall,
- he is not of Asian descent, but lived there for 4 years, and 2/3 of the countries in which his current nuclear family members were born are Asian (say again?),
- he likes leather-bound books and has a small collection (mostly classics / Great Books, some first editions, nothing rare);
- his having conceived, designed, and created a 441m2 compass design with his pre-algebra students;
- his having designed and created more than 1000 web pages;
- his apparent taste for Faulknerian sentences (is it still a sentence if interrupted by bullets and parenthetical sentences?); or
- his outstanding modesty (well, you were the one who asked about me).
