hijinx blog

a few months back i bought the domain name rebel-alliance.net off ebay. considering domain names typically go for about $10, i paid a lot more and therefore a stupid amount for this domain name.

why would i do this? am i some sort of closet star wars jerk? no. it’s something perhaps even geekier. years back when i was 18 or 19 years old, i was obsessed with an E/N site that housed itself at the same domain name (an E/N site is what we used to call blogs before the term blogs was coined. except they were generally much more entertaining than blogs, because they weren’t just shitty musings on some jackass’s day-to-day affairs. they actually had content).  it’s years later now, but you can still see the influence of that site on my shitty blog here (i have shamelessly, yet admittedly stolen a handful of concepts from that old site). if you care, you can take a trip to days past and see what was so appealing to me by visiting the Wayback Machine’s archive of the site that captured my young mind here.

anyway, i’ve had the domain pointing to this page here since i’ve bought it, which is just a page indicating that the site is under new management, while mimicking the original site’s design and begging people to do the work for me and come up with a decent idea of what to do with the domain (it also links to the old owner’s new blog, which is almost as funny as the old rebel-alliance network). now i’ve pointed the domain name to this particular blog post that you currently have your stupid eyes on since i still have no clue what i’ll be doing with the domain.

but hey, comments are open, have at it.
