Today I officially changed my gamer tag, so today is the birthday of Joe Carbon Unit. A few people have asked why did I want to change my gamer tag? Well, there was no sign from high on above, no life changing moment, or anything like that. I just wanted to. That and with XBox 360 your gamer tag becomes and “ALter Ego” as I like to call it. Your gamer tag is also more of a presence and representation of who and what you are in the online world. Like the wise man said “on the internet know one knows you’re a dog.” So in this case my dog is “Joe Carbon Unit”

Now, how I can to be JCU is another not so interesting story. I’m really into my MP3 collection and listening to music on my RIO MP3 player. The brand is a Rio Carbon. Somehow it got stuck in my head that this device was trying to be a Carbon Unit. But I’m the Carbon Unit, and this is Joe’s Carbon Unit… see where this went. I’m the real Joe Carbon Unit …. And an Alter Ego was born. So that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Regards,

Joe Carbon Unit
