Dann-O is an old nickname. Sort of taken from Hawaii 5-0. That said I look nothing like the character. Just a take on my name.

My other name on a few sites is Monkey King. (occasionally someone will call me monkey dude because of that)  That is a popular character with children from Chinese mythology. since I am living in china now I get to see him quite a bit, and since I have a very young daughter she likes him. (the name of the Monkey King is Sun Wu Kong) Also since I teach in university I use it as my Chinese name it gets a laugh. (sort of like saying your name is Santa Claus)

I use the latter name at 3D commune and subdivisionmodeling.com and highpoly3d.

The wit of a misplaced ex-patriot.
I cheated on my metaphysics exam by looking into the soul of the person next to me.
