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.

My username comes from my old radio show on CHRY in Toronto called "Dilaudid Glide". I'm a computer programmer and publisher living in Toronto with my daughter (we just moved back from Mexico). I've got blogs at zentastic.com (and formerly at modblog.bmezine.com), run the rarely updated UnderMars military photo site and PriceOfHisToys kitcar site, but am best known for BME: Body Modification Ezine which I ran from 1994 through mid 2008. I now paint and dream about homesteading and sailing.
