the story behind ‘devynci’

Just in case you think I have a high opinion of my self. ;]

It went down like this. I was signing up for some service [think it was Twitter, actually—this was a few years ago]. At that time, I had started using the username ‘devyn’. Because my name is spelled rather oddly, usually it isn’t taken. It was. So I fell back on my usual ‘devync’ [‘c’ is the initial of my last name]. Taken.

I had to think of something quick. I accidentally tapped ‘i’ and thought “hey, that looks cool!”. It wasn’t until later that I realized ‘devynci’ was awful close to ‘DaVinci’

Anyway, the name stuck, so I kept it.
