In something of a typical immigrant story, my parents came to the U.S. and named their son after the guy they saw on TV every day, Smalter Cronkite. I asked my dad about it today, and he said that for awhile, they were thinking of naming me Cronkite Chen. I dodged a bullet there.
I played Starcraft under the alias smalter.
I live in New York City.
I read email sent to smalter at gmail dot com.
