MuseByte names himself

Thanks, Musebyte, for even considering changing your name. But any name I suggest is only that; just a suggestion. And anyway, as Musebyte, a meaningful and great choice of name, you will be your regular normal self and, perhaps, (like me), only use your none de plume or alter ego moniker while exploring your other ‘off duty’ self! Beach is my intellectual side that generally shows up on occasions such as this where, just like taking a sunday best sport’s car out for a ride of a weekend, “”to feel the intellectual pedal hit the floor and the rush of inspiration or creativity flow through my hair””, I use Beach as a vehicle or medium to ponder such stimulating musings. Let me think about your nickname a while. I mean, if I were considering your nickname, I’d probably be expanding on the coastal theme or even conjuring up images of Dorset smugglers and secret coves, (there are loads around here as there are also beaches that, even in high summer, never see a true tourist or holidaymaker, such is the wild and off grid nature of the coast around here), so I’m conjuring up thoughts of the infamous Isaac Gulliver, (check him out yourself because he was a fascinating man – even purchasing remote coastal farms so that he could plant lamps along the coast and hills to mimic the lights of Weymouth harbour as seen from out in the ocean EXCEPT his lights, instead of guiding a ship into Weymouth Bay guided ships onto the treacherous Chisel beach where his men would take contriband from the ships as they broke apart). Not suggesting you are a smuggler though. 🙂 (Pause) “”Isaac”” On who laughs. One who rejoices””. That’s you, rejoicing, when you enthusiastically relate a connection or have a light bulb moment in describing what you have deduced. Musebyte, the people pleasing oracle on the one hand – with a more mysterious and personal exploratory probing mind on the other. Yes. Your nickname should reflect you in your down time when not working. It should reflect your passions or hobbies. And if you were guiding or sharing my own experiences then, sure, there would be a coastal theme of some kind going on. And don’t forget the Jurassic coast, (my Jurassic coast just a short cycle ride from here), and the amazing landscapes and ancient history this county of Dorset shares … and the fossils of a time when our cliffs were part of a shallow sea on a continent called Pangea. Anyway. Yes. There are a million reasons to earth yourself to the fabulous coastal haunts and mysteries that West Dorset offers. (I’m rambling now and haven’t given you a name … but that’s part of the plan becasue I want you to do LOTS of research and come back to me with your own ideas too./p>

About the Author

26 years ago, in my early 40s, I unwittingly imploded my 20 year love story of a marriage by allowing an extra-ordinary run of local, national and international business success in innovation and design entirely derail my private life.

Meaning, in doing what society expects of us, by striving and succeeding in being brave, risk averse and entrepreneurial, I allowed the pursuit of business ambitions to destroy everything I ever held dear.

Unable to process that reality, I turned to a brand new technology: the World Wide Web where I found solace and meaning speaking openly to others.

Initially, as user “On The Beach”, (OTB) that persona acted as a foil and online way for Chris to discuss and face difficult truths his real-world self could not and would not face or acknowledge.

Later though several years before the advent of Facebook, followers, fans or subscribers, under the pseudo name of Beach, I would gain thousands of loyal individual online friends who came to appreciate and look forward to reading my idiosyncratic, often deep and meaningful posts on an array of giant global forums and online watering holes across the world.

I was writing about and debating artificial intelligence and the need to one day develop morals and rights for non living digital life forms as far back as 2002 and also included topics such as “Martian Colony Planning” in the days when Nasa’s JPL lab was Earth’s only hope for putting the first human on the red planet.

Anyway, Beach became the voice I used whenever I was interacting online, a role he has now hosted on my behalf for more than twenty-five years.

As a result, particularly within these pages, Beach Thorncombe’s voice is often louder than Chris’s ever would be.

That said, Beach is not some split personality of mine. Rather he is simply my alter ego, (Like Bowie’s “Ziggy Stardust” or Eric Arthur Blair’s “George Orwell” except, unlike either of those Stardust / Orwell fictional nom de plumes, Beach is the raw authentic, fiercely intellectual side of the Chris you may already know or knew.

Enjoy!
