What's the deal with your nickname? How did you get it? If your nickname is self-explanatory, then tell everyone when you first started using the internet, and what was the first thing that made you say "wow, this isn't just a place for freaks after all?" Was it a website? Was it an email from a long-lost friend? Go on, spill it.

I found this site via a Webmonkey e-mail. My nickname, a random selection at one time, is now standard. I started using the Internet regularly in approx. 1994 on Prodigy of all places; I answered that question for, at one time it was a profile question suggestion.

I came to the web first to explore out of need an then found it a medium to express myself as well as display my artwork and ideas.

October 2007 UPDATE:
I am in a newly created band called RiotGod, which also includes members of Monster Magnet: Jim Baglino and Bob Pantella.
