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.

My Nickname comes from a French term for Comics (la Neuvieme Art), comics being only one of my obsessions. The others are Apple computers/products and the Internet, Graphic Design and Publishing (both print and web), Arsenal FC, comedy, my wife Liz and daughters Sophie and Thalia. Although not necessarily in that order. I'm also rather fond of the Boston Red Sox although I loathe their owner.

I own a design company, and I have a blog.

So that's me. A sad geek. And proud of it.
