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.

Yes, I used my real name on the internet. I am probably never going to hold public office now. And I love politics. D:

Anyway, I'm Tim. Let's see... I can food, I homebrew, I cook, and I generally love food sciencey stuff. I also knit and crochet. I'm currently working on a computer science degree.
