'Zardoz' of course comes from the 1974 cult film by John Boorman. It was of course the best Science Fiction film made in Ireland in 1974! I have been a card carrying member of that cult since the 70's. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zardoz

I started using Zardoz several years ago as a handle for playing NTN, a national bar trivia game. I just thought a name that is sort of it's own trivia question would be cool, for a while my Dad and I were ranked in the top 10 NTN players nationwide. I am a fount of trivial information! When I started getting on different online forums etc. it just seemed like a good handle for that too. I use it on the Ren Faire forum too, so Zardoz is my 'faire name' too.

I change the avatar from time to time, so it's whatever I like at the moment.
