People ask me this every once in a while, where does your nickname comes from? Well, it’s quite simple and it goes back to the beginning of the Internet.

The origin of name itself is straightforward: it’s the name of Genghis Khan.

Why I started using it? My name is very, very common in Portuguese, even in the early days of the world wide web was already getting hard to find an unique username wherever I registered online. So I picked this one, a bit by random, not that I’m a fan boy of the Mongols in particular, but I always been a history buff and I find them (and Genghis Khan) very interesting. And the 3 is there because I’m a nerd, and to make it even more unique.

And it stuck until today…
