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 started using the internet back in '93, but not for anything more than e-mail and such. I had seen the Web on an early Mosaic browser back in '92 at a friend's cybernetics lab at UCLA, but didn't really have much contact with the Web until '94-'95 when all hell broke loose. I was a BBS-baby prior to all that and it's interesting to see how BBSs sort of died as the internet started to make its way into homes.
