My list of personal websites has grown and shrunk like a roller-coaster of whimsical domain name purchases. Here is a list of what they were / are and what has happened or will be happening to them:
Eric's Websites
- EricIs.com, IsEric.com, Eric-Swanson.com, & EricSwanson.name – This list of personal domains has become increasingly and unintendedly narcissistic! Each was purchased over the course of ~10 years for various reasons. My hope is to unify everything under "ericis.com" and "iseric.com". I purchased iseric.com, so that I could use subdomains for things like "where.iseric.com" and "who.iseric.com". EricIs.com was simply to help people if they ever got the primary domain backwards.
- AndNBSP.com – I purchased this domain to host my application for summarizing recent changes to MSN Spaces blogs. It's future will likely be a dumping ground for any applications I write on my own.
- GoMultisport.com, CollegiateTriathlon.org, CollegeMultisport.com, CollegeMultisport.org, & CollegeTri.com – A 5-year project to unify collegiate multisport athletics under the "Collegiate Triathlon Association", which eventually grew into the "College Multisport Association". The association has been disbanded and the sites shut down due to lack of support. SEO vultures have already picked up a couple of the domains to steal visitor traffic.
- JustTrain.com – I have always enjoyed sports and continue to toy with the idea of being a coach or personal trainer one day. I fancied the idea of starting a website to support those interests, but it never materialized. I'll continue to play with the concept.
- BuildingTheInternet.com – Trying to open a business based on service while holding down a full-time job proved impossible. During 2000-2001, I attempted to start my own Arizona-based business titled "Internet Information Architects, LLC"™. Although I had a few small part-time clients, the amount of work quickly piled up beyond what I'm certain my employer would allow. I scaled back my deliverables and eventually faded myself out of their solutions.
- DMakers.com – Would-be home to my "Decision Makers™" management company. I had the idea for automating management decisions through software, but, again, it never developed past an idea.
- InnerAnswers.com – The future home for my posts about personal and spiritual growth and development. I have had a long journey thus far and will continue my adventures.
- Eric Swanson's MSN Space – An experiment in blogging that turned out to be fun. Others found my programming expertise helpful when they were learning how to blog on MSN Spaces, so I began writing utilities and testing things out. I don't want to maintain 2 blogs though, so I have informed everyone that I'm now here.
- LifeInAnthem.com & LiveInAnthem.com – Intended as a portal for Anthem, AZ... this website now simply points to my domain until it expires.
- AnthemAZ.BlogSpot.com – A marketing ploy to push "lifeinanthem.com" higher in the search engine rankings, but I never used it.
