Trivia
Was the one who came up with the name Linkin Park for his band (taken from the name of a park in Santa Monica, CA). It was originally supposed to be spelled "Lincoln" but since the band couldn't afford to buy the domain name lincolnpark.com from its owner, they changed the spelling in order to buy linkinpark.com.

Quotes
[on high school] I was a geek who thought I was cool. I didn't hang out with a particular clique, but with different people from different cliques. I was a total nerd, trying to fit in. Luckily, I found music and that was my niche. That sorta took me out of my geekdom. I was never invited to parties as a teenager--I turned up with the popular people. That's where the lyrics to "Guilty By Association" came from.
