Welcome to my new home
So, over the years I had a few domain names that I called home, but none of them really felt like home. I think I got more excited that I found a domain that wasn’t squatted and tried to shoehorn my home into it, but instead I felt that the name didn’t fit and tried to move on.
For two years I tried to find the right domain name. Some of you know how hard it was when I said “ooh, I got it”, only to find the domain was taken 10 years ago, or in one case, three days earlier.
Then came the time when I was desperate. I spent two weeks on and off trying everything I could. Yes, people have said that the name doesn’t matter, the content is what’s important. The problem I had with that is it almost felt like I had to register sdlkfjsldfjdl.com just to have SOMETHING unique.
While going through the list of domains that fell back into the internet gene pool the day before, the suffix “istry” caught my eye. It wasn’t geekistry itself, it was some other domain, but I checked on geekistry and lo and behold, it was available. I had bought something like six domains that week just to have another home I can shoehorn into, but geekistry seemed to fit much more than other domains I bought. I wanted the site to be memorable, and if things go well, be a place where readers (and viewers?) could come and find things that interest them. I liked the name more and more so I just registered it to be sure I had it, let it sit in my head for a day or so, and fell in love with it.
What will this site have? I can’t tell you everything :D. I have a bunch of ideas floating around in my head, but hopefully everything that I’ve envisioned will show up here. We’ll see.
