| Sarcoman |
Back when Napster was still around I had to find a unique name to register. Just like in Hotmail, everthing is already taken (just about), and I didnt want to have something like firstname0215, or some other numerical addition.
So.. I started making up words, and names, that were associated with what I was interested in. I was in university, studying Oncology (cancer). Some tumours are refered to as Sarcoma's. So, I made up Sarcoman, the cancer fighting super-hero, on account that I wanted to become a cancer researcher.
The cancer research thing never panned out, but I kept the name, and email address. It has become my identity for the net. |

| Taz |
I used to wear this crazy Tazmanian Devil T-shirt (yes, that Tazmanian Devil from the Bugs Bunny cartoons). The print was nasty - it looked like Taz through a giant cut-up mirror. The shirt even came with a disclaimer sticker saying it was done on purpose!
So some people started calling me Taz. It has nothing to do with Temporary Autonomous Zone, although I've got no problem with that.
The shirt's worn out but I still keep the sticker on my guitar case: "The irregularities in the printing of this garment are part of its unique design." :D |
