Zoom Info is a website that, as far as I can tell, scours the internet for "business" information, creating a directory of sorts of key people in various organizations. Check this out:

No idea where the Connecticut address came from or what phone number that is.

It looks like Ralph Sweet's address and probably his telephone number.

And if you scroll at the way to the bottom if the interview, or god forbid, read that far, you will find --

Dale Wisely is the founder and former CEO of Chiff & Fipple: The Poststructural Tinwhistle Internet Experience, where he now serves as Pastry Chef.

Interesting site. Good for starting rumors.

Just checked on myself - not so bad at info gathering. Apparently the ITMS has no competitors. Good.

Okay Mr Dale sir. Here's the eternal question: is it better to use shortening or butter in pie crusts?

And does the water HAVE to be ice water? or can it just be cold?

Lard, dangit. LARD.

If you're not the gambling sort, ice water, then.

Oh. Sorry. You asked Dale.

Do not listen to this madness.
You may use a combination of vegetable shortening and butter, or (in order to be acceptable to the entire weird family,) use Earth Balance Shortening or Buttery Sticks. These have the advantage of not clogging you up with hydrogenated fats.

If you are as bad as I at crusts, you piece the top crust together and pretend you were making a lattice. If you have Jeff and Gabe in your family, always make 2 apple pies or you will be sorry.

Those apple peeling, coring, and slicing gizmos that you clamp onto the counter are the best. Get one.

Eww. Lard is gross, fat, unhealthy, tastes awful, and comes from dead pigs. What are its redeeming qualities?

Well ya don't have to deal with a live pig...

But anyway, as far as the Zoom name search goes...
I found I had, at first glance, more overlapping interests with the people who shared my birth name as opposed to my married name.
