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(2) 2000 was a 466 mhz freebsd box from costco 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 111 echo santa cruz 2001-?. there have been many ominites over the years.
