Default screen name BT: How did you get the screenname you use on AW? Where does it derive from?

Mine's easy.

My last name is Nickel, and I am a web designer. A while back, looking for a business name, I came up with nickel media. It stuck, and ended up being the name I use for almost everything.

What's your story?

The hardest part of being great is accepting that the world around you sucks.

I imagine bugs and girls have a dim perception that Nature played a cruel trick on them, but they lack the intelligence to really comprehend its magnitude.
