I chose my name based on the many encounters where a SUV would try to run me over when I used to ride sportbikes. I don't know what it is, but for whatever reason, SUVs would just merge into my lane without looking, turn infront of me, and just basically the thought of getting squished didn't set well with me. I really dont' have suvs (cept for h2s ), it was more a view towards the other vehicle that posed a threat which more often than not a SUV!

It's also based on a Performance first! view towards vehicles which is the polar oppostie of SUVs.

My screen name came from the company I am going to be starting Primogen Interactive. Primo (primo or prima, latin prefix for first, top, best, supreme superior etc) and Gen for generation. Since Most of my clients recieve my work on CD's it is the first version of the work I did, put to digital format. Like if you made a copy of a VHS and then a copy off the copy etc etc, the quality would deteriorate. First-gen is the best hence the name.

It also happens to be the title given to the highest level of vampire in the role playing games I used to participate in. (NERD CHECK! I lose)

Mine came from a Wu-Tang song I used to listen to in high school. I have no idea what it means but I could never get it out of my head. Its actually in 2 songs. I think one of them went....

"Nine-Three-Eleven, hip hop perfection" Also its such a strange set of numbers that no one else uses it, and I can log in anywhere and it will be mine.
Tons of people on different boards PM me saying "Is it like Saab 93 and 311 the band?" Come to think of it a few on this board have PM'd me about it.

'e' is the intial of my first name, 'vel' is the first 3 letters of my family name, '3' is my birthday, and the whole thing is a pun in reference to a line from a movie a close friend made in high school that went something like, "I'm evil...not 6-6-6 evil, but 3-3-3 evil!" (^_^) That's about it.
