I first saw this word used as an album title by a band called Scorn.  It also serves as the name of my free web hosting space, now graciously provided by Slug.  So far, I've thrown up the story of my trip to a winery, some information on Joe Frank, and a recipie for a desert.  More recently, I convinced Slug to let me put up a CGI that does some prime number calculation.  It's written in C.  Wanna C it?  Ha!
