Wow, now I look cool as a FriendFeed user. EDIT: I'd also like to say that you made a really good choice of music. - possible248 via NoiseRiver

Looks to me like they're erasing a pre-drawn whiteboard, and play it for us backwards. The signatures at the end are a clue, as is the way they approach the whiteboard at the start. I think it's still pretty clever, because it means they would be able to get it right in one take. - Robert Konigsberg

I have an umbrella cockatoo who's 13 years old now. I started using BlueCockatoo because of her (because I liked the rhyme). My favorite color is really purple, but I couldn't think of anything catchy for that. I've had people from Australia ask me if I were from there because "true blue cockatoo" is apparently a slang phrase there. - Lindsay Donaghe

My name actually isn't my given name but my Hebrew name which I took when I got married. If the experience was life-changing enough for my wife to change her last name, it was life-changing enough for me to change my given name. Also, I've had a life-long hatred of my given name. And, nope, don't even ask (it's not that bad; it's a privacy issue). - Akiva Moskovitz

In middle school, I read The Great Train Robbery by Michael Crichton. It was my favorite book. The term 'bit faker' was used in the book as Victorian slang for a counterfeiter of coins. ez$ gg son http://bit.ly/1ogSCl - Hao Chen

I originally wrote this several years ago at http://ontarioemperor.tripod.c... - "The Inland Empire needs an emperor. The 'Inland Emperors' are a band signed to a Seattle label. Hence, I am the Ontario Emperor." - Ontario Emperor

I adopted the handle bardo years ago while studying Buddhism. I became fascinated by the term and its reference to transitional states of being. Also used the name DJ Bardo while going through a phase of wanting to be a dance music DJ. Plus, the word itself is similar to my name Brad. As I got more involved online and starting trying to use "bardo" on many social sites, found that it was often already taken so i added my last initial and came up with bardow. - Brad Warren

Roman Totale XVII was my original and preferred pseudonym but it was too tiresome to type and explain to people. It's a line from a song by The Fall. - Andy C

In college, I decided to drop my handle from when I was in high school and start fresh. At the time, I was writing an honor's thesis on Friedrich Nietzsche's doctrine of the eternal recurrence of the same, and one of the big portions of that is the disposition of "amor fati," or roughly, the love of fate. Figured that was good enough, but apparently Amor Fati is some big K-pop star, so I reversed the letters, and got "itafroma." - Mark Trapp

i had to pick a video game handle, which people started calling me in RL. I chose Spin, because i do it a lot. Biking, spin music, PR, spin-out-of-control, head spin, was a pro webmaster in 95 (spin web lol), i can spin doctor, etc... it's a great word with a lot of meanings, all of which i connect and relate to for better or worse. It's been funny to watch people who've known me for years have to adapt to calling me @spin by way of twitter's architecture. I'm reprogramming minds on accident, & that's rad. - Eric Rice

zeroinfluencer: http://zeroinfluence.wordpress... - David Bausola via twhirl

mamund is my yahoo handle. i created it back when there was a six-character limit to yahoo account names[!]. i keep using it as my public handle. kinda nostaligia, i guess. - MikeAmundsen

What an awesome conversational subject! I (kfury) tried to get joy.com 13 years ago but someone was ahead of me in the 4 week line so I got fury.com instead. I usually use 'kfox' as my username but in larger systems it's always taken, so I changed it to 'kfury' which is almost always available. A lot of people think Fury is my last name. - Kevin Fox

Tad is my initials. - Tad - just Tad

My name's actually Brad. A lot of people, from years on the Internet, know me as Spinn. My last name is a Mc name, so Bradley McSpinn seemed to work as convergence of both analogue and digital world. - Bradley McSpinn

I was given the nickname "Haggis" from my friends after I attempted (and failed) at a Scottish accent. They named me "Haggis MacLoyless, the Scotch Bastard", which I then shortened to "Haggis MacBastard" and eventually just Haggis. I think it fits, because much like the dish, I am also full of crap. :D - Haggis (Sean)

bhc3 = my initials, plus I am the 3rd. - Hutch Carpenter

Shey is short for Sheyhu -- my "real" first name. - Shey

i like to take pictures and Ive been on flickr since 2004 , plus since the name John is so boring I went with fotographic . Im a fireman in Canada , near Toronto . - fotographic

I'm with Shey - Yuvi Panda is short for Yuvaraj Pandian, my "real" name. - Yuvi

My two favourite things are books and tech. And I loved the play on words-from bibliotheque to bibliotech! - Evangeline

StriderZ - I used to go by strid3r, because Strider was my absolute favorite game in the world. Then, strid3r became a little too l33t for me and my IRC channel moved to freenode. I stole the Z off Dragon Ball Z and became StriderZ. MicroRahsheen is an obvious play on those tiny toys with the fast-talking sales guy. - Rahsheen(isSoAwesome)

Funny, to me, your name is Evangeline :P - Bradley McSpinn

@Evangeline by any chance, have you ever listened to Adam Sandler - They're All Gonna Laugh at You "The Beating Of A High School Spanish Teacher?" - Hao Chen

metaroll is a web service I programmed, with which it is possible to analyze and show the relationship between blogs based on their blogroll interlinkage. So, it's kind of a meta(blog)roll. - Benedikt Koehler

silas216: Was looking for a handle on AOL way back in the 90's, so I grabbed the nearest book (a Bible) on my bookshelf, flipped it open to a random spot and choose the first name I saw. The number used to be part of my address. - Steven Perez

Hutch and I share a commonality; except I am cma3. - Carlos Ayala

@Hao I was addicted to that CD in high school. I always got a kick out of that one, because my Spanish is terrible. I'll just stick with French, I suppose! - Evangeline

@Bradley A rose by any other name...would still be misspelled by most of the internet! I have to beg someone at least once a week to please, just go with Eve because it'd definitely not Evengalin or however they choose to mangle it. - Evangeline

I played D&D in middle school, and Rizzn was my character name. He was a kobold wizard. I got into the BBS scene shortly thereafter and used the name there, too. Obviously it stuck. - Mark "Rizzn" Hopkins

Thanks Lindsay for starting a great question. This was my favorite thread today! And thanks everyone for sharing your stories... - Mitchell Tsai

Srewolf is my last name backwards. Srewolf(Flowers) - Matthew

First name is Marco - middle is Aurelio - campaigns scare everyone with horror stories about people causing trouble for themselves and their candidates because of stuff they put online so was a little uneasy at first, loved Gladiator and decided to go with aureliusmaximus to provide a small buffer between my account activity and me - once i got comfortable I realized so long as I conducted myself appropriately I had noting to worry about - Marco (aureliusmaximus)

I forgot to mention mine. There used to be a BO3B error message on the Mac waaaay back, like system 6, I think. Somebody asked me how to pronounce it, and I told him, "The 3 is silent." Somehow the 3 migrated into my name. - Harvey Simmons

Acct name=Furry. Growing up, i visited my older sister in Brklyn on periodic wknds. I took the train up &, when I got to Penn Sta., I would go to the Info Counter & have her paged. And they would announce: "Leslie Roberts, Leslie Roberts, Polly Roberts is waiting for you at the Information Counter." But one wknd I told the woman at the counter my info and she paused & looked at me suspiciously. Then she announced: "Leslie Roberts, Leslie Roberts, Furry Rabbits is waiting for you at the Information Counter." - edythe

I was in college before I finally got what was so funny about paging "Mike Hunt." - Tad - just Tad

I came up with Dr. Offset after being particularly proud of my work one day. I ended up just using it all the time. Some days I feel like it sounds pretentious but I'm stuck with it. Other days I just own it. - sergiooo

@Mark @Edythe Fantastic stories. Well, I don't use a pseudonym here but where I do, its VestigialConsciousness. Back in college my name used to be 'TheLastHuman'; in contempt of mechanical people around me. This then shortened to 'TheMan'. I thought the article preceeding man would convey the intent but it didn't. I tried to think about what Do i think differentiated me from the mechanical people around and i came with consciousness - something that was a vestige for most. - Parth Awasthi

Many years ago my parents thought long and hard... and gave it to me. - jon burg

Panopticons is gone... but I gather you all by now know what it means - Noah David Simon

My handle is my name but I also use shreddies (a cereal in the UK for my Xbox Live Gamertag) and eskimo (this was a form of music that came out of the urban music scene a few years ago)! - Joe Dawson

i had to come up with unique names for my characters in a creative writing class in college - glemak was the name i created for the protagonist, a wizard - tolkien was big back then - i've used it ever since i've been online and own the domain which i use as a portal for all things me ;) - mike "glemak" dunn

Time probably goes faster when you get older cuz there tends to be less variety and excitement? I.e., more of the same? - Dewald Pretorius

Life is a downhill slope; naturally you accelerate. - Parth Awasthi via twhirl

@Joe - spot on. kids seem to make the world go faster. i need tips on how to just slow it down and soak it in. - Adam Cohen via twhirl

I agree with Joe, once I had kids time went into warp drive - David

Well, I'm still kid-free and I've noticed that things are clipping along. I think Parth got it. - Yolanda

I echo the time goes faster with kids. - AJ Kohn

...another one for the "time speeds up with kids"... - JA Castillo

@Adam @David I have no idea how to better divide my time for the family as there always seems to be a busy schedule! - Joe Dawson

Time is never enough as you get older and takes on more responsibilities. - Winston Teo

"Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans." - Baard Overgaard Hansen

I think it seems faster because every year you live makes the next one that much of a smaller percentage of your whole life... For instance, when you're 5 years old, a year seems like forever... it's a whole 1/5th of your life... at 30 a year seems to fly by because it's only 1/30th of your life so far... at 60 we'll be blinking and another year will be gone... - Lindsay Donaghe

especially when you have kids! I think it is more interesting, maybe the advice to the young is to value the chance to take time. - John Cass via Alert Thingy

The best photographs in the world have yet to be taken. - Thomas Hawk

I 100% agree with @Lindsay ..... You experience time as a function of your age. - Stefan Hayden

Time may move much faster, now that I have children, but I've noticed I move much slower (physically, at least). - David Tallan

It's not time getting faster, it's just us getting busier. - saeba

Oh I see...that explains it then! - Emma

the 4th dimension is all relative. - Geoff Schultz

I find when running a 100m dash that life really slows down. I try various methods to stretch/shorten time. Living in the moment. Sometimes a week feels like a year to me. Other times, I see a friend's 13-yr old and remember when she was two... - Mitchell Tsai

According to the general theory of relativity, the faster you approach the speed of light, the more time around you increases relative to your own(get your head around it). I would say that when we get older, we do a lot more and have less time to contemplate like a child. Also, we have adapted to the idea of time and have experienced more of it. Summary: Each second experienced here, reduces the impact of the following second on one's life. This is best felt by the apparent slipping away of ones time. What do you all think?! Gonna repost this as a FF msg for some commentage. - Simon

it really does. it scares me. - edythe

Not only does it seem to go faster, I remember less. - RAPatton

When I was 15 and had to wait until 16 to get a driver's license, a year seemed forever. Now I only wish it still seemed that way - and driving not all it's cracked up to be, either. - Tom Landini
