Well, when I was a stupid kid in high school (this is 10 or 11 years ago), my friend and I were trying to figure out what we wanted our hacker screen names to be, the idea was we were both going to choose a famous assassin from history, then add 2600 on the end (a quarterly magazine dedicated to hacking).

Well, our grand plans of "hacking the planet" (:-)) never came to fruition, but the screen name stuck and I've used it ever since :-)

Name, former profession (no longer an active CPA, so I'm probably violating some sort of ethics rule as a result)

Also my screen name from back in the AOL days.

My mom gave me my screen name before Al Gore invented the Internet. She was a smart woman!

I love the Grateful Dead; I have a dancing bear tattoo.

Mine is my name, obviously. The numbers, actually, I am not too sure of. The 84 is my birth year, but I am not sure on why I have a 30 in front of it?

My username comes from this:

I can't say it is a good movie, but I like the username for some reason :-)

My username started back in high school when I was big into breeding reptiles. Kenyan sand boas were the first snakes I was successful breeding...and breeding multiple morphs. I have yet run into the "Username is taken" message using it, so it stuck.

It would be a safe bet that if you see a KenyanSandBoa on any forum or online gaming network...it's me. :-)

Dude, you misspelled that nickname, they called you Wanker :-)


My nick, well, my name is Ferdinand, and I decided to change it a bit so it would fit in better with the whole cigar subculture.

aich was my nickname in high school.
When I first signed up for a yahoo account years ago, it appended my zipcode on the end.
I've just kept it ever since as it was always an available choice.

Mine be not so subtle ... I like to travel. :-)

The open road, a handful of cigars and good company is very satisfying.
