well dakine came to me as an internet nic in the early '90s, when as a partner in a local ISP, who ran the web site development side of stuff, and had all the answers about html etc among a group of developers spread all over the country, I was sort of tagged with 'dakine' by my co-workers, and it stuck. I have used it all over the net since, and until punaweb it meant nothing to the on line communities in which I was involved, internet boards about coding and GUI development (I was a part of a group that created shareware that altered the appearance of operating systems), and photography, which I am a professional and well known to many here for my books that several of you own, and have expressed appreciation for here in other threads. so when I first created an account here I put in dakine as my username without even considering that it would be my nic, and that it would be a little odd in this setting. but when I realized as much I figured oh what the heck.. and now it's fun. it's way fun to watch how over the top damon goes over such silly little things.. oui!
