Well...while in college I was involved with a cool group called "Primitive Technologies". We would take two weekends out a year and go act like we knew how to live in primitive times. We would practice flint knapping, making traps and snares, bows and arrows, tried to find what was around to eat, and rubbed a few sticks together to make fire. We always had groceries and a nice bed or sleeping bag to sleep in though....not quite the real deal, but fun all the same. We called it "PrimTech" for short. and the "smith" is of course from blacksmith...

Ok...maybe I gave to much of an explaination...I am also nicknamed "prime" by several in the chat...I answer to it all.

Like others that have answered this I use my birth name. I could never understand why folks use an alias on here as like it was said above. I want my name on my work and if I meet someone I met on line I want them to know me by name. But that's just me and we live in a country where we get to choose who we are and how we do business and pleasure.

This is the first forum group I ever joined. And still the one I use most. My initials are JWB and IRONWORKS is self explainitory. If I can change it to John Bennett now let me know how. But my profile doesn't leave much to guess at.

John

Gosh. I feel so un-authentic, like I've been hiding behind my moniker all this time. Maybe I'm just a poser, know-it-all kid making life difficult for everyone. The name my father gave me at birth is Michael Craig Limb. There's lotsa mikes and michaels in the virtual worls, so I concatenated to first initial, middle name, last initial. I kind of like it. Sounds exotic. Maybe even Scottish or Irish or something. All english on the one side and german on the other though.

My real name is Myles Mogk, and every job I have had has given me a new nick name, from Smiles, Mylarr (apparently my pirate name) , The Mogk Monster, Myles son of Mogk (darn Trekies) and Kilometers (I live in canada)for just a few. This is the latest one and it seems to be sticking the best at my current job and with other friends.

Default Habu

Habu was the name given to the SR-71 aircraft by the people of the Philippines because they thought it looked like their local viper snake. I was lucky enough to have worked as a photographic interpretor in the early years of the U.S. Air Force program, 1968-72. The SR flew at 80,000 ft and Mach 3 (3,800 ft/second, faster than the muzzle velocity of a 30.06), and still holds all records for sustained speed and altitude in a production aircraft. It was the first of the "Stealth" aircraft and the last to be designed with a slide rule.

London to LA 3hrs 47min 39 sec including time to refuel at under Mach 1

SR-71 Speed Run-New York to London

Also look at www.habu.org - The Online Blackbird Museum it is a cool looking plane.
