Why is Anandtech called Anandtech?

Don't know if anyone knows the answer to this but it's always struck me as a somewhat peculiar name for a website.... anandtech.... sounds like two words "An and Tech" or "Anand Tech" but if so what is Anand (or An)?
I mean some websites have fairly straight forward, down to earth no-nonsense names like Tom's Hardware or stupid acronyms like CNET or IGN, but Anandtech is none of them! So what is it??
 
a guy named Bob Fairbanks started this website back in the late '90's

he couldn't think up a good name, so he asked a crack-head friend of this that was on PCP at the time what domain name would be good for a tech site

his buddy said "anandtech.com" and there you go, that is how this site got its name
 
In the beginning God created the heaven, the earth, and AnandTech.

And the Lord saw that it was good.

And after Tom Pabst ate the fruit from the tree of neffing, the world was cursed by the likes of OIKOS, Ylen13 and Jerboy.

And the Lord wept, for the Earth would be forever befouled by the bullshit already flowing forth in torrents from the mouth of Pabst.

It came in a vision - a man appeared on a flaming pie and said unto them, 'From this day on you are AnandTech with an A'. 'Thank you, Mister Man,' they said, thanking him...
