The website devoted not to just one Chris Miller, but throwing
a light on other people out there who happen to have the same
name as me.
There are Chris Miller's everywhere, in the NFL and Pro
Skating, they are writers for movies like Shrek and
National Lampoons Animal House, there are others even in
the same city as me.
The reason this site exists at all is because of a thread
in a domaining forum about wether
or not people own the domains for their own name. I mentioned
the thread to a friend of mine who was able to pick up his last
name because it is an uncommon one, Flinkfelt.com.
I on the other had figured that any variation of my name would
have been snatched up a long time ago. With such a common name
I was unable to find a decent domain as far back as 2004.
But that same friend purchased this domain name, 1ChrisMiller.com,
for me as a birthday present. The problem was that the domain
name sat there unused as I was unsure about what to do with it.
I already had a blog, several actually, and they had recently
overwhelmed me to the point where I stopped working on them.
Then two things happened. The first was that I ran Chris Miller
as a search term through Overture. This tells you how many times
various words are searched for on Yahoo in a month.
Chris Miller was at 759 searches a month.
The second thing that happened was that I was cleaning out old
unlabled CD-R and DVD-R's and I came across what essentially is
this site. An old website that I had built after Rage Warehouse
died that I had uploaded to the free webspace at Tripod. I had
become annoyed at its original name, which oddly enough was One
Drunk, and deleted it online.
When I came across the old website I thought about the domain
name, made some changes, a few additions and voila!.
