I'm a magician.

I firmly believe that it's easier for people to remember "magician" than, say, "collegemathteacher", or "projectmanagementconsultantspecializinginriskmana gement", or "formerwarheaddesigner", or whatever.

I like it.

I wouldn't change it.

Well, when I first bought the S2000 everyone called it a StooK on this site. I liked " S2K " instead so I used it as my nick on this site, since then it has stuck.

Mine comes form Norm Macdonald's portrayal of Burt Reynolds on SNL "Celebrity Jeopardy". After being fed up by the ignorant responses, Trebek asked them to just write their name. Well Burt wrote "who is terd ferguson". That was maybe the funniest thing I had seen up until that point. So I AM Terd Ferguson.

I've never thought of changing it, that is until I saw Borat from Khazikstan.

I was on RSXworld and was the oldest one there, and it's a tribute to my Old Man...my Dad.

Mine comes from two things I do: VoIP (voice over Internet protocol) and brew beer. One of my favorite beers to brew is IPA (India Pale Ale), thus VoIPA.

I can't really take credit for being creative, however, since a fellow s2k owner in Nashville that also brews beer came up with it, but I registered it on this site first.

Dreamscape Production is the name of my company but when I signed for E.net Dreamscape was taken so I settled for Dreamcaption.

I used my email name which is dreamcaption, but the day I signed up the "p" button didn't work and I did not catch it until I was all done registering, so there you go dreamcation
