"trans" = "cross" (prefix, Latin). "i/o" = "input/output" (peripherals that connect humans to computer systems). So "trans-i/o" would mean something like connecting humans across the Internet, or transcending technology, or whatever... Not sure exactly, I just thought it sounded cool. It was my first domain name I bought (in 1998)

It's a mashup of "chic" and "farmer," because I'm into luxury goods and I'm sort of a farmer, or at least it's part of my identity.

After reading all your threads on the handbag post I see where I was wrong on that!

Well, the pic of the root beer confuses it a bit... so I'm gonna guess... you had one too many Jager-bombs one night out in Vegas, lost everything, and sold your root beer to the Pawn Stars guys for 1/2 what it's worth so you could go play the slots some more (and you didn't even get on TV, which just sucks!) You joined TRF to find a replacement, but filled with self-loathing over the Jager-Vegas incident, decided that would be a fitting name.

Did I win??

Demosthenes is the online pseudonym for the character Valentine Wiggin from the novel Enders game and Speaker for the dead.
The whole series by Orson Scott card have been some of my favourite books for years.

Wouldn’t have guessed there were multiple fans around here.
The Enders game film should be out next year which will be interesting, the philosophy’s probably a bit heavy in the later books for sequels though.
