    My Projects

  • I’ve got a last name that’s hard to pronounce: Osadciw, a Ukrainian surname. If you can read the Cyrillic alphabet it’s easy enough to pronounce: Осадців. See? But in the Roman alphabet, not so much.

    Many friends, colleagues, and clients have been calling me Mike O. for a long time. While I really appreciate it when someone puts in the effort to try and get it right (Paul Burgett I’m looking at you, you gentleman and scholar, you), I understand that it’s unusual, making ‘Mike O.’ a suitable alternative.
