andthennothing.net

Yeah I know. It’s a weird name. But I’ve been trying to come up with a good name for months, and have come up with hundereds of potential ones. Most of them were crap, some of them I even liked—but they were already taken or ungoogable. And for some reason andthennothing.net stuck, I can’t tell you why. So one day I said to myself, enough of this, and went for it. And the decision is revertable, I could get a new domain name anytime :-).

And what about “first there was a three-legged monkey…”? I think some of the inspiration comes from Real Live Preacher’s “I had this funny picture in my head of a freak-show barker shouting, ‘Come, See a Real Live Preacher’”. But basically it’s the same story as with the domain name. It’s just something that popped into my head and stuck.

I’m generally bad at making up names for things that don’t have a specific function or purpose. I wonder how other people do it…
