My nickname was also a password I used whenever on the net. I would create passwords by joining two words together that I figured never were used together before. and sounded cool.
Waay before the movie, I got the "matrix" from a sci-fi novel called shadowrun. In the book, the internet has become a virtual reality, where people jacked in by attaching a cable directly to their temples. This virtual plane of existance was often referred to as the matrix.
The "blur" was simply to represent the wonderful filters in Photoshop.
After a while, I thought "matrixblur" would make a good superhero, and added him to the list of original characters I've created, and gave him physical form. Since then, I've grown accustomed to using him as my avatar whenever I'm "jacked in".
