About

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.

I was named William by my parents. Somewhere along the line people got sick of fumbling 2 syllables in their mouth and shortened my name to Will.

I can be best summed up in the entire score of the H.M.S. Pinafore.

I started using the internet back when I had to dial into another province to acces AOL 1.0. Before that I was the Public Relations manager for Infinity BBS, Charlottetown PEI. My job consisted of convincing friends to sign up, drinking chocolate milk and playing LORD. Consequently, despite my youth I am secure in my alpha geek status.

My choice profanity is "turnip".
