First post

20-Sep-2004

This is the (*updated*) first post.

Why the brainsnorkel.com domain name?
1. URLs should be memorable
2. URLs should not require unique or difficult spelling
3. URLs should be a reasonably accurate representation of their content

2 out of 3 ain’t bad.

Why does it exist at all?
1. I want to retire an old blog
2. I need some reasonably permanent web space to cut down on my plethora of barely alive, dead, or dying ex-ISPs and online content servers.
3. Everyone needs a hobby

So now I need to spend some time to arrive at a non-default site design and get down to the serious business of making something useful or entertaining… possibly both.

Cheers Chris
