According to the whois, I’ve had this domain name since July 2002. I remember how I came up with it… I had friends who kayaked and they wanted to put their domain name as decals on the side of their boat, or on a flag or bumper sticker or something. I started thinking that in order to do that it had to be short and easy to remember. I was driving home from work and talkging to myself in the car, just trying out possible ideas. I came up with sara.com, but of course that’s taken. What might be available? Sarasara.com? Maybe, but kind of pointless, though it is just as easy to remember. I probably kept repeating Sara-sara.. sara-sara.. sarazara.. sara’s era… That’s kind of cool! And it stuck.
Strangely, all this time, it has basically just been a parked domain that I used for email. I have a livejournal account that I’ve used reguarly since 1999, but it is largely a non-public diary site for me. A place to vent and a place to save things I want to remember.
These days, I have web hosting for my small business, and have set up many WordPress blogs for other sites. I decided it was time to create sarasera.com and use it as my own public space. Welcome.
