I go out as-a-fox as a street photographer using a shtick that makes sure people almost always remember my name and i find it a little embarrassing that I can't remember that many names or if it is a Megan how exactly I am supposed to spell it, etc.

I feel like people expect more from a fox with a lot of tails and I'm definitely look for a personal information manager that can accurately timestamp and geocode all my interactions with very little perceived effort on my part.

There’s a very big difference between opting in to using a tool and having the tool silently start analysing you in the background.

I'm really trying to understand what as-a-fox means.

Same. A furry photographer?

In context, I interpreted it as a furry costume.

You could text Paul. He is but a Google search away to see the shtick.
