Rambling thoughts on...well, what's in the title!

Taking Massive Action, Getting Massive Results – AUDIO 1: Pulling Hundreds of Fence Posts

My first oddcast...no, broadcast...no, podcast!  Listen in!

My real name is Josh Campbell. I use the pseudonym Josh Thradredavich at various places online. (Yes, I still have a little pseudonymity online; [how's that for a big word?].)

Anyway, I don't have space here to tell the whole story of how I came up with my outlandish pseudonym, "Mad Thrad,"(read the "My Name" page on my blog at my blog) but here's the gist:  

I got mad over local politics one evening, and was angrily doodling on a notepad; I doodled up an outlandish pseudonym, "Thradredavich," and from that name I strained out an even more outlandish nickname: "Mad Thrad."  

At the time, I was just starting to get serious about building an online business; I was ignorant, and thought I needed a unique name to brand myself, so I set up Facebook and Twitter accounts with that pseudonym.  So now...I'm basically saddled with it from now on! But...I believe in turning liabilities into assets, so I'll continue to use it. 

Hopefully, when my Facebook and Twitter friends visit my blog and read the story of how/why I created the name, they'll be understanding and take it in stride.  Besides, it's turned out to be a great nickname for me because (A. I'm pretty angry about being pushed around for so long, (B. I say crazy things, and (C. I don't care what people think of me--I'm going to do exactly what I say I will, because I have a reputation for doing outrageous, unbelievable things anyway!
