I too was once a Hitchhiker's geek, but I try to hide that nowadays .

As for my name, I used to run a company called Beyond (hehe now you know where the beyond.ca name came from) and sold computers. Went on the net and needed a name. Saw an ATI rage2 video card on my desk and called myself rage2. Yes, I'm a geek.

Most people think that the name LUDELVR implies my love of the prelude. Even though I have owned 3 different generations of preludes, and I have loved them all, this notion is shortcoming.
I have chosen the name LUDELVR with reference to Quaalude.

The trademark Quaalude for the sedative and hypnotic agent methaqualone is an example of how a product name is carefully chosen for a positive public response. Methaqualone was developed in the 1960s by William H. Rorer, Inc. At that time, the company's best-known product was Maalox, a digestive aid that derived its name from its ingredients, magnesium and aluminum hydroxides. To enhance the product recognition of their new sedative drug, the company incorporated the aa of Maalox into the name Quaalude. The other elements of the name are presumed to be a contraction of the phrase quiet interlude, a soothing, even poetic description of the drug's effect...

[girlRACER]

One day I was flipping through import mags at Banana Jak's and I came across a girlRacer ad which was selling decals and t-shirts and stuff. When I got home I visited the website and bought a decal for my Infiniti. girlRacer is just a branch of Pacific Rim which is targeted to selling products to females. So, I just ripped the name off of them and I changed the capitalization of the words to girlRACER coz I like it that way better. But the sig says it all...girlRACER...fast girl...fast car (and I didn't even have to think of it)!

Yup, that is correct. I remember reading something on the internet about a brand sold at Target named '88' and it was pulled from shelves. Also Eric Lindros wears 88 in the NHL. Heheh All a big conspiracy!
