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.

My nickname was inspired by a phrase on the cover of a cheesy techno mix CD. I've been online in various forms since '94. The first thing that got me really excited about the Internet was early net.art (like The Place).
