Robot is a family nickname derived from Robert. It seems that my Grandfather asked a little kid also named Robert how to spell his name. They were from Belize and the kid didn't know how to spell yet, so he said something that sounded like R-R-Robot.
808 is the something of a digital spelling of Bob.

I'm a radiologist and among other things I read CAT scans.


I use iscancats as an email account, easy for some to remember.

And if they dont know what I do, it might be confusing.

My last name is rarely pronounced correctly. When I was in high school my football Coach shortened it to 'Iccy' (pronounced Icky) as in 'God damn it Iccy, block someone!' Actual phrase, used often. As for the numbers: 928 I forget why I added those.
