what is an omino?
the site name is taken from the word polyomino, which refers
to any shape constructed from squares. a domino is a polyomino
sometimes called a 2-omino. the seven shapes encountered in the game "tetris"
are all tetrominoes sometimes called 4-ominoes.
the domain name was an amazing gift from carrie cordeiro
in 1996 when getting a domain name was really hard and really unusual.
omino(1) 1996 was a 90 mhz freebsd box in my garage.

omino(3) 2005 is linux hosted at dreamhost.com.
omino has been also a geek house name used
for two locations: 56 glenview san francisco 1997-1999 and

over the years.
