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 like comic sans.

Once upon a time, gmail required an invite from a current account holder to sign up. The invites were a much sought after digital currency. Someone on kuro5hin posted their 5 invite links in a free-for-all. I didn't have enough time to think up a clever name, so I picked k5.user and snagged a gmail account.
