What is in a name? Did you ever look back and think, "why did I ever start using that name?" Case in point. CarKnee. Why have I stuck with it for so long? First, what does it mean. That is easy. Sean Kearney is my name, but years of teachers/professors/co-workers/etc... mispronouncing it led me t... [More]
