I was goofing around with “DIY beat poetry” stringing words in a line. Also my brother and my husband agreed with a wink and a nod years ago that I am an older version of Lisa ---

Great topic. Back in the days when I was house-bound and could not even get out the front door, I joined the community here. Hence Cabin\_Fever. I would have picked something more esoteric but it fit me at the time and wear it proudly to this day. ---

> [@El\_Kabong](#): > > Wait, there was a cartoon? > > Anyway, I wouldn’t mind hearing the skinny on **WOOKINPANUB**. That one’s always puzzled me. I believe it’s from a SNL advertisement skit with Eddie Murphy for a fake cover album called “Buckwheat Sings Love” (that is, Buckwheat the Li’l Rascals character) There are a few clips, but one is “wookin pa nub in aww the wong paces, wookin pa nub” ---

> [@ekedolphin](#): > > How about another Mumper-- **FairyChatMom**? In the late 90s, at work we had a bunch of chat rooms available to us to discuss various work-related issues and problems. It also included a room for general nonsense - since we worked at wide-spread locations, it was our water-cooler equivalent. I decided that using my name was too boring, and I thought FairyChatMother was a clever handle. However, we were limited to 12 characters, so FairyChatMom was born. Another chatter was involved in the naming process, but I’ve pretty much forgotten his contribution. 😃 Anyway, just a silly name that I’ve used for almost 20 years now. ---

> [@Bayard](#): > > No, no, no. You name yourself after a character in a lesser known novel by a Great Writer. This proves that you’re smart and cultured, even though you’ve read almost nothing but technical writing in over a decade. Or a very minor character in a well known novel by a Great Writer. That works too. ---

I’ve been obsessed with enjoying and making maps since I was eight years old, and I’m fortunate that my work involves a lot of maps and mapping. The fact that my life so far happened to coincide with a revolution in cartography – from static printed maps to digital ones to interactive web maps, plus the quite sudden instant availability of so much data, imagery (satellite and air photos, etc.) – has been both exhilarating and annoying. ---
