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.

TractorInc came about as a non-existent company that I started so I could make company logos for it. From there it grew (though just barely). Now people not only associate Tractor inc. with logos, but also capes and crappy t-shirts. And by "associate" I of course mean, "heard my ramble about how I will one day get around to making them".

As for the internet thing... I guess I have a weblog, though it's pretty much links culled from massive blogs like MeFi.
Wheat from the chaff you know. (Though sometimes it's chaff from the not-quite-as-chaffy chaff.)
