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.

Senility be my lot in the blue. I listened to the first 17 episodes of the MeFi podcast in a row during a very unforgiving debian install and now I feel like jessamyn and mathowie are my really good friends being as we've done so much laughing together in my time of suffering.

It's not a nickname. It's my real name. I stumbled into metafilter mere days(weeks?) after it was launched. The story goes like this: I was the web designer at a publishing company. The creator of metafilter (mathowie himself) was developing this kick ass website (bioweb) for our company. Some project manager in Philadelphia at Saunders publishing sent me a link to the dev site. Along with the link to the dev site was a link to haughey.com. I surfed mathowie's portfolio, projects, and weblog eventually ending up at metafilter. So I registered, and promptly posted a really stupid link. Being a kinder, gentler metafilter at the time the community humored me and I eventually learned proper etiquette (then promptly vowed to never use this knowledge). That first visit to haughey.com was the spark point of my introduction to personal websites, online community, and my knowledge of everything else I find valuable or inspiring about the web.

Thank you mathowie.
