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.
Take forename. Take surname. Concatenate. Clever, eh? And then I discovered the internet in September 1995. Much more clever. Foolishly, over the next three years I used the web for research and chat alone, failing to discover web logs until '99. I now pride myself on having friends who have never heard of a blog.
www.coolstop.com was probably the first site to tempt a breath cut short. No 'wow' was forthcoming.
www.nba.com still gives much joy as virtually no games are shown in the UK.
