Why are we here?

Published by eben at 4:14 PM under Inception

I graduated from college in the Spring of 2004. Around that time, I established a web presence at Be-Epic.com. This was just slightly before the release of Gmail, when I was concerned about having a stable email address for the rest of my life. Also I am just geeky enough (and interested enough in the web) that having my own site seemed like a good idea.

3 years later, in the Spring of 2007, I participated in the founding of a LARP called Steam & Cinders. The organization running that LARP decided to incorporate, and I was very flattered when they chose the name Be Epic to adopt as their own. Once the corporation existed the be-epic domain was transferred to its ownership.

Which is all well and good, I suppose, except it left me without a web presence. I sifted through the domains I already owned and found none of them to be particularly satisfactory. After an excruciating and agonizing process of coming up with new ideas for a domain name, only to discover that all the good ones were taken, I settled on Enthusiastick.com. That pretty much brings us up to date.

Why should there be a blog here, when I already have a LiveJournal? Good question. Maybe I’ll get to that in my next post.
