A confession

OK, it's true. I grew up in the Internet age. Truth be told, I was on chat rooms in the late '90s (does anyone else remember the WBS chat network?) and embarassingly enough, I even got cyber-married when I was 13. Typing that makes me feel like some sort of strange polygamist. (Or maybe that's because I'm reading this.) But not to worry, I never consummated said cyber-marriage, and in retrospect, that's probably a good thing. (BTW, my online nickname at the time: Jesterjoker.)

In any case, while I was once on the up-and-up with technology, I'm now behind the times. Granted, I'm not as bad as my mother--she called me the other day and asked me why "Goggle" and "Yoho" were broken. Nevertheless, it does seem to run in the family.

Despite my apparent technological defects, I'm giving it the good old college (postgraduate?) try. Please help spread the word about Knockout if you can, take a look at our website, and link to us, wouldja?
