What's the deal with your nickname? How did you get it? If your nickname is self-explanatory, then tell everyone when you first started using the internet, and what was the first thing that made you say "wow, this isn't just a place for freaks after all?" Was it a website? Was it an email from a long-lost friend? Go on, spill it.

To save myself saying it in front of half my answers: I'm an eComm web dev project manager. So if I answered a question about that, I probably really did learn that answer via some horrifying life/work experience.

embarrassingly enough, my username dates back to the MSN Games days, when I wanted a username with the same snap as, say, Aging Altair or XXX_Girl_Scout. I kinda pulled it out of thin air.

My twitter account @astro_herron is more or less anonymous, like this account, and I use it for testing wayward social media services and winding people up.
