have moved the site to a new server and some cosmetic as well as
general organization changes are going to be made over time.
Most of the content will be divided into sub-domains as it is
heading in a more specific direction.
What does
tmitbyh mean?
This is a question I answer all too often. tmitbyh is an acronym for The Man In The Big Yellow Hat. The name is
derived from the human
care taker of Curious George known as
The Man In The Yellow Hat.
The story behind how this became my handle is a rather odd one. Going back to the year 1996 a few people I hung
out with at the time
decided it would be a good time if we created an online group dedicated to world domination. It
more or less was a joke to see how many
people we would get to jump onboard with it. The group was called the
Left Nation or LN for short. On the site we listed members of the
LN, but we listed handles, and the basis of the
handles was cartoon characters. So most people had the obvious super
heroes of our childhoods,
and I went with The
Man In The Big Yellow Hat from Curious George. Everyone within the LN had
an e-Mail address with their cartoon
character name as the handle as well. The Man In The Big Yellow Hat was too long to have as a handle so it became
shortened to tmitbyh so that it
could be registered as a handle.
Since then it has been the only handle I have used. I have never had an issue with registering it as it is not something
common. So
chances are if you see a user in an online game or on a message board or pretty much anything online
with the handle tmitbyh... It is me.
