MetaFilter

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.

Hi, I'm a writer.

I wrote a long essay about MetaFilter: http://penguinrandomhouse.ca/hazlitt/longreads/internets-first-family. It was discussed on MetaTalk here: http://metatalk.metafilter.com/23482/Hazlitts-love-letter-to-MetaFilter.

Here is another thing I wrote I'm proud of: a story/esssay called "The Life You Want".

And one more: a story called "A New Place".

Here is a place with links to many more thinks I wrote: http://stephenthomaswriter.com/.

Bye
