Brap brap ma breadbin!

Mine needs no explanation, I was really into DJ Shadow at the time of signing up.

 

[Hardwired]

Hardwired is the name of a cyberpunk novel by Walter Jon Williams where people plug computers and electronics directly into their brains (hence the term 'hardwired'). Hey, I'm a programmer, so it's my dream. It's also an awesome book about pharmaceutical companies taking over the world and independent workers fighting them, but that's secondary.

[skullguise]

I seem to recall another thread or 6 about names, and vaguely remember putting my info on one of those. But, since this is here and now, and it's a MUCH older thread awoken from the dead....

Skullguise is the surname of a "Wamphyri Lady" from one of Brian Lumley's awesome books in the Necroscope series.

Full name: Devetaki Skullguise

My other consideration was Lord Vormulac Unsleep, but Vormulac sounded too much like the Coneheads

mine pretty much explains itself. I couldn't come up with something that wasn't taken so it ended up here...

 

[spacecoyote]

When Homer ate the Guatemalan Insanity Pepper he had a vision quest. His spirit guide, who was a bit of a pranqster, was a coyote (voiced by Johnny Cash). When Homer awoke the next morning in a sand trap at the local golf course he "realized" that everything he'd experienced the night before were hallucinations, at which point he proclaims, "In your face Space Coyote!".

[Contrastique]

I came up with my name when I was making my photography-site. I wanted to work under a different name then my own. It's sort of a combination of Contrast and Artistic and I wanted to have a french touch to it since I am absolutely in love with France so that's how it was born.
I use it on every internet-thingy I join now.

 

[Glod]

Glod should actually be Glöd, the diacritic dots fell off during some confusion around the e-mail adress of my account here. Glöd is Swedish for Glow, and the dots are critical for the pronounciation of the word in that language. It is the same letter as the one in German, Turkish et cetera.

Word play on my name and email nomenclature

 

[Romanee]

Years ago I used to enjoy sampling and collecting nice Burgundy wines -- when they were (relative to now) affordable, and my stomach could handle it.

There were some particular wines under the Romanée apellation that were/are unforgettable for me, so it always brings those delicious impressions to mind. After having picked the name, it seems to me a little gypsy-ish, Roman-tic, and maybe a little mysterious -- which, when combined with my 1929 L5 Gibson (the headstock is my current avatar), reminds me of the great Django Reinhardt.

Great wine … great music. Ahhhhh.


A delectable Romanée sampling:
