Was my callsign when I used to play Falcon 3.0 at LAN parties (yes, that was way before the term LAN party existed). Shorty after that I started using it as my user id on BBSs and UNIX shell accounts. Just kinda stuck with me I guess.

Suprjacob - Mixture of torrent site Suprnova and my real name. Can also be seen as my real name and my favorite muscle car, the 1970 Plymouth Superbird, without the 'e'.

frostycomputer, started off as frozencomputer because my old Pentium 1 used to freeze everytime i would connect to the web using my free dial-up. Ah the days of 3web. Then it slowly evolved to frostycomputer.

Well I found a cool cell phone ringtone (named Espionage) and I just though "why not use this as my nickname". The first site I went to register to needed me to put numbers in my name so to think of some quick numbers I used my area code.

Freshman year of college, I was trying to come up with a new AIM SN, because it was getting harder to explain to people that I was "buffslayx" because I was a huge sarah michelle gellar fan in HS, not because I was into lifting weights or something, lol.

Somehow this play on my initials, JWK, combined with a nickname for my middle name, William -> Willie, just popped into my head and it rolled off the tongue real easy
...and thus "J WILLIE K" was born.
And I have rarely ever registered on a site and had to add a number to the end of it, so I've stuck with it ever since.

By 1999, I figured that my old nick was a bit outdated for my maturity. I could not figure out a proper name to pick up, so I decided to use a random number/letter generator.

I would constantly ask questions, constantly. Eventually I came to question existance in general, reality, the fundamental architecture of what separates my truth, my reality from everyone elses, what people consider to be truly real to them, to hold meaning.

I came to understand how unique and different people all are, and my name pretty much asks that question in general, where is your reality, what does reality mean to you? your reality, where is it?

my reality is learning as much as i can, hopefully people can learn a bit from me too.

In the book Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift, Lemuel Gulliver goes to an island called Glubbdubdrib which was inhabited by necromancers. It was a short bit of the book and wasn't as good as Laputa but the name was so quirky that i just HAD to use it for everything lol.

So... I'm a Glubbdubdribian.. I'm a scaaaary necromancer, oooooooh! :)

I was looking for a nickname when I suddenly saw my monitor brand "LG Flatron ez T910B".
08 comes from 2008 which is the current year.
That's it. flatron08. ;)
