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 <em>andthennothing.net</em> 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 :-).</p>
<p>And what about <i>“first there was a three-legged monkey…”</i>? I think some of the inspiration comes from <a href="http://reallivepreacher.com/">Real Live Preacher</a>’s <i>“I had this funny picture in my head of a freak-show barker shouting, ‘Come, See a Real Live Preacher’”</i>. But basically it’s the same story as with the domain name. It’s just something that popped into my head and stuck.</p>
<p>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…</p>
