Introduction
Hello. My name is Chris Hancock. My nickname is Toph, which is short for Topher, which itself is the less common shortening of Christopher. This website is, obviously, iToph.com. Originally I would have preferred to have Toph.com, but it was not available. Now I actually prefer iToph.com... it is sort of an abstract concept compared to Toph.com. As for the i, I am a big Apple fan, and the i is an homage iMac and iPod. ChrisHancock.org is also my domain, and it also points here.
Have a Shipping Disaster?
Because of the phonetic similarities iToph.com gets a fair amount of traffic intended for itopf.com. They describe themselves as a group that knows how to deal with spills of oil and other substances from ships.
