Since I haven't added any kind of 'about me' type of description to this page yet, I thought I'd explain the name of the blog. hem is my nickname from somewhere around the 6th grade. It's just my initials, but somehow it stuck. Only a few people call me by it anymore, but somehow I'm amazed that I have any nickname at all (as a kid, nicknames seemed so cool to me).
In German, "Hemmungen" (as the subtitle states) are inhibitions. Seemed like a good combination of ideas, since often my mode of operation is one of struggling over one intellectual inhibition after another. Not so inhibited in other behaviors, just in...well...thinking.

Ah! the greatest thing is that the Hemmungen.de site bumps you to a porno search engine. How nice!
