I figured I would stake a claim to my real name before it slipped by. There are quite a few Sean McFarlands out there, (at least one of them thinks he has my e-mail address, which is 5 kinds of irritating), and I know at least one more is an artsy type. With that in mind I made the switch, to declare this part of my nominative identity purely for me.

I did like the Farlander, but I am Sean McFarland, and I do try and attach my real name to just about everything I do at this point.  I think that's the way things are trending with the internet, usernames and handles are more and more being incorporated into our physical identities. Anonymity is out there but I believe it is waning.

It's fun to see people I watch shed their past identities and move to their real names. Almost feels like a graduation.
