Howdy Peeps.

I've been dcmacdaddy in cyberspace since about 1997* and I am getting tired of that name. I need some suggestions for a new internet identity I can use out in cyberspace. My registration for the dcmacdaddy.net domain expires in a couple weeks so I hope to come up with a new name before that time so I can let the old one expire as I begin to use the new one.

So, let me hear your suggestions.



*I was given this name by a friend who was a) amazed at my Mac-fixing skills b) riffing on my then Mac fanboiness and c) playing on my initials and where I lived. I am still a Mac whiz, no longer a Mac fanboi, and no longer living in Washington, DC. (But my initials are still DC.)
One should never stop striving for clarity of thought and precision of expression.
I would prefer my humanity sullied with the tarnish of science rather than the gloss of religion.

Nice!

I like these two as it is a play on my new location and I am a big fan of snowshoeing. Thanks!

How about "besson3c's Official Apprentice". Does that make you a little jealous, Dork.?

You have to progress further in your studies before taking on an apprentice, young padawan.
