Why

For most of my early life, everyone called me “Mac”, a nickname from my last name. My family called me “Mac” from the very beginning.

So, “semanticnoise” huh? What’s that about?

When I was in college, I took a course called “Introduction to Mass Communication.” It was a fine course, good teacher, and essentially non-threatening to my GPA. I recall thinking at the time that it was really more like “Common Sense as Applied to Mass Communication.” I think that’s what you’re supposed to think about “Intro” courses.
