The History
To be blunt, this is the furthest PSP has come to
being an actual entity. From '97 to July, 2001 all PSP was was a
name on a few of my websites (some of which are no longer with us).
Nothing more, just a name. It didn't stop a certain credit card
company from sending me an application for a business credit card.
I didn't apply, though, because PSP wasn't a company. The only other
piece of work to sport the PSP name was a 19-second movie that I
made with my webcam. It's not much to look at and will probably
never... EVER... se the light of day. But after Rob asked me to
help him with West Mansion and seeing his SCAR Productions page
on his site, I decided to give Pyramid Scheme Productions a page
of its own. Here it is.
The Name
So where did I come up with the name "Pyramid
Scheme Productions", anyway? Well, to be honest, "Pyramid_Scheme"
was my first net alias. My sister had gotten a computer and net
access in 1997 and I needed an email address. So I hit Yahoo! and
signed up, but I needed a user name. You see, I hate names like
"Len3263827" and stuff like that. I wanted a unique name,
but every other name I tried was taken. So, in a flash of inspiration,
I took the name "Pyramid_Scheme". Why that particular
name? Because, it was a name that I knew no one else had the guts
to take. And so the legend was born.
