MetaFilter

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've been "Little Nemo" or "litlnemo" on local BBSes for more than 27 years. I'm a fan of the "Little Nemo in Slumberland" comics by Winsor McKay.

I found out about Metafilter when someone posted a link to me. I've been a member ever since.

I wrote a book! If you are a language, English history, or medieval geek, you might like it. (Middle English names! They're fun!)

I do a lot of goofy music videos on YouTube. You might like those too.

I once operated Rubber Trouble Rubber Stamps which was a fine place to buy rubber stamps.
