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?"

I moved to Vancouver BC from Montreal Que in 1990. Vancouver is a beautiful serene place. I came here for 'one year, maybe two' and just stayed on.

I started to use the internet in the early 80s, using the university's system, and later branching out to BBS'es. Mostly to learn tricks and tips about playing Zork and Wizardry ;)

During the first few years of my life in Vancouver, I used to run twice or three times a week around the Sea Wall (surrounding beautiful Stanley Park). I joined several online communities in the early 90s with this name.
