I've used Vis Major since compuserve and prodigy days. On forums, people just called me Vis so I registered that way.

Around 1981 I was living in Tampa and went to work installing Solar there. I've installing it off and on since then and got the nickname solardave so I used it.

ImperialFan

Imperial -of or relating to an empire.

I am the fan of an empire, the Steeler Empire, "Steeler Nation"

I use this instead of my SF user name BlaZeQuietly because I felt like it was time to take on a new persona and didn't want people to associate me with my old user name, which has already happened so its no secret any more. lol

This one should be obvious, because it's the name of my websites and branding, but I was talking with a friend one day about potential names for the new blog I was launching and we somehow ran into talking about Amazon Underground, and there it was.

It really fit with the logo I was creating, because I love the city's bridges and skyline, so the name fits "under" the logo, just like the checkerboard pattern inspired by the city's seal/flag.

Say my username (without the 1) 5 times real fast. If you don't get it by then, buy a helmet. ;)
