About me
I'm Creesch. Professional and hobbyist nerd, creator of many tl;dr texts and
chronically online person.
"Creesch" is the nickanme you'll find me using online as well. Some places
where you might encounter me in active capacity are:
In the past I have been active in other communities and websites. But any activity there is sporadic at best.
Why "Creesch"?
A long time ago, in the late 90s young teenage me discovered the internet and needed a nickname. As teenagers tend to do, I thought long and hard about it and went for the coolest nickname I could come up with "TheCrazy1". At some point I thought it would be cooler if I just shortened it to "Craze". Some of my friends at the time decided to ignore it is supposed to be a English word and pronounce it as if it is a Dutch word. "Creesch" more or less is how you would spell out that Dutch pronunciation.
What's with that weird avatar?
I used to be fairly active on reddit as a moderator. On of the things I worked
on extensively is
the moderator toolbox. The logo I created for that project is inspired by the classic red
toolbox.
Reddit at some point introduced their own version of avatars and I based mine
on the toolbox logo.
Since I never really had anything else I liked as avatar I figured I'd adapt
this one for the rest of the internet as well. I roughly traced the head, made
it less square and removed the silly ears and distinct reddit antenna,
arriving at the current version.
