I am, and always have been, Batronyx. My first venture into the online world was on AOL back in '94/'95 (somewhere in there) and I had to choose a screen name. All of the variations on my real name required a number stuck on the end ( yuck! I didn't want to be the 4377th bbowen ). My first cat was a black one named Onyx. Several of my interests seem to be associated with bats ( mostly Batman and various vampires ) so I stuck 'em together. I also liked the way it rhymed with 'electronics', further reflecting my interests in all things technical. I made a logo of sorts you can see on my artist page that further reflects these interests.

I've also had batronyx.com since '96 but don't break your neck to get over there or anything. It's been mostly a vanity thing as it's never been attached to an IP address until this year and I still haven't done much with it, although I have a few plans, including a couple of freebies I've been working on and the requisite gallery. ;)
