Violet (my birth flower) + 08 (my birth year). Pretty basic.

    Back in my skydiving days, I coached jumpers just off student status on their canopy flying skills. Everything from packing, to learning how to shoot accuracy. I even taught high performance landings, though I drew the line at hook turns.

    While I was never known as “CanopyFlyer” at my home DZ, I was known as someone that a student could come to and get good safe coaching. A couple of my students are now doing it professionally and you’ve seen them in the movies. Although, their skills have far outstripped anything I’ve taught them. I’m proud to have least provided them a foundation that they could build on.

    I end up explaining things about Canada a lot. Sometimes other things too, so “plus”. It’s how I feel like I’m not just a shitposter.

    It goes back far enough it didn’t sound like a streaming service, at the time.

    It started by realizing other users, the government, AI scrapers, and the internet have potential to be far too creepy and/or investigative to continue using any personal details, namely my name or date of birth. I definitely scrubbed my birth year from everything, haven’t quite replaced all my accounts using my m/d though since my name is far from unique. So I have a vaguely techy pun of a movie reference. Zero Cool was the young alias of the main character of Hackers (1995)
