Why thefigtrees.net1?
I'm Lee Feigenbaum and my last name,
Feigenbaum, means fig tree in German. This, of course, makes me and the
rest of my family fig trees, and so where better to have a home on the
internet? For now there's nothing here (besides that footnote down there)
In the future, the possibilities are endless.
And ain't that a pretty picture of a fig tree?
Where can you get from here?
1Note that this site is both thefigtrees.net (with an
s) and also thefigtree.net (without an s). Which you choose to
use to refer to this site is an important philosophical question. Many moons
have been spent debating the meaning and relation between the two names. The
latter is a strong, holistic symbol. It cries out "This is the
Feigenbaum! It is thefigtree(.net)!". The latter is more family-oriented,
a whole built from many
parts. It speaks "They are each an indiviual and yet together they are more
powerful. This is them together... this is the Feigenbaums! It is
thefigtrees(.net)!"
