Well, firstly my name is Scott. When I moved from South Africa to Germany in 2001, it just seemed to fit as I finally got out of home.
I also like it because of the saying "I always get off scottfree". Another variation is ScottNothingToDoWithYou but this is quite long.

Mine "browsersite" -- it's obvious because that's my newest site. Usually, I will participate in a forum and use my site name so as not to confuse myself which forum the site is for (I've 7) in all.

My AVATAR bears the name of my business and is the pronounciation form of my last name.

When I was attending ITT tech, our assignment was to create a bottle in 3Ds Max, and I wanted to freshen up the image a little with a background. So I took a Mountain Dew add, scanned it, and made some modifications to it. I had to come up with a slogan for my ficticious drink.

It came out to be: Get the feeling of Intensity

Here is the image

You can also click the second link down below to see a larger version.

It stuck with me ever since and I opened my own business named Intense Development.

My favorite band in high school was Adema. Thus, AdemaSkoo - pronounced Adema-Schoo(l).

I was in a computer class when we had to choose a particular username for our email. A teacher wanted to know what I was listening to (there were strict anti-profanity rules at that time, and we all know how much the 4th amendment is honored in the school system). After putting on the earphones, she must have heard some insane foul language because she told me that she'd have to take my CD away. So in protest, Adema - my favorite band back then, was combined with school...blah blah blah.

I guess the name just stuck. My grandfather pronounces it "Out of my skoo"....I'm rambling.

Nice explanation. I was curious on that one, Ademaskoo.

It's funny because some will really get the curosity going, while others, like me, Tim, Tonya, well, we can kinda' figure those out!
