I rarely use this space except to satisfy [[WP:BLP]] citability requirements, but somehow it keeps getting more traffic than it really should.
For purposes of addressing questions raised on and in re. Wikipedia, I confirm that I'm married to Lauren Lamo (née Robinson) as of 09-2007. We met as a direct result of Jenn Kahn's 2004 Wired coverage of various facts and fictions associated with my life. Wired may direct congratulations for the lucky couple to my address of record.
For those non-Wikipedians, something isn't true on Wikipedia unless it's stated in some third-party source, even if it's stated on Wikipedia by the third-party source (to avoid self-reference). Blogs of biographically covered living persons are accepted as sources, so in a wacky indirect way, this is what I have to do in order for our union to transcend physical reality into Internet reality. Go figure.
I think I explained all that the last time I did this (Wiki-truth, not marriage), but a refresher never hurts.
A pair of editors have asked me for clarification in re. some information for the EN and PL Wikipedias, respectively.
Now, Wikipedia is a bit goofy about what they consider to be a source (WP:SPS, WP:NOR, WP:SELF), but more or less, rather than answering their questions directly on Wikipedia (which wouldn't quite jibe with policy as it would be original research & self-reference) I'm writing it here, by which it automagically becomes citable and credible.

I know this is completely private but you are listed on [[List of gay, lesbian or bisexual people/K-O]]. Could you please confirm this? I am writting similar list in polish wikipedia. Greetings!--[[User:Plywak|Plywak]] 18:14, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
:: For the sake of simplicity, let's say I'm bisexual, although I affirmatively believe that this is too linear a term.

It says in the trivia section that you hacked NBC in 12 minutes. Was it a thorough, superuser breach? Did it even happen? What exploit (if it's already fixed) was it? Just consulting the primary source. [[User:-Slash-|{Slash]][[Special:Contributions/-Slash-|-|-]][[User talk:-Slash-|Talk}]] 07:29, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
:: At this time, I am only answering questions about 1970's hairstyles.
Lest Wikipedia run out of things to attribute to me, I call upon Jimmy Wales to limit Essjay to no more than 10 pseudonymous Wikipedia identities, "Can You Hack It?" will be out in 2007 even if I have to sell it on street corners, and everyone should check out Patrick Gray's /<-rad podcast, Risky Business, at ITRadio.com.au.
Godspeed & Wiki♥! :)
