Ok so I have a pretty wacky handle on the interwebs here. CaptAngryPants.
Why? It was more given to me really. I had a coworker once that was fond of saying “Do it up Captian” or similar just referring to people as Captain. Nothing really odd, I know.

I am opening a letter I wrote to Jason at Hulu about the Hulu/Boxee throwdown.
