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.

SilentSalamander was a handle that I used in BBS doors in the late 80's and early 90's. Currently I'm a grad student in computer science at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.
