I feel like I need to ESCAPE from my current type of work and am wondering if teaching English wouldn't suit my personality and interests much better than what I currently do. So I took the name of one of the world's greatest escape artists, Harry H(oudini). I would have preferred the username Houdini, but it was taken!

I was reading James Clavell's Asian saga at the time and in particular Shogun. Then main character is given the name Anjin-san which means something like "Mr Pilot" (he was a ship's pilot). Later in the novel he is given the Samurai title/position of Hashimoto. So I just stuck them together. I also think its funny that someone might think I'm Japanese. I'm not, although my wife is. I'm Australian.
